But he caused Joost to ground to Mesher and the Tribe shortstopper tossed out Hartje at the plate. And a fly by Saltzgaver to Chapman retired the side. In the hinth Gallagher reached second on a walk and steal after two out, but Niggeling worked a long time on Miiler and finally erased him on strikes. Both Niggeling and L.aRocca had their opponents lofting the ball and Marvin Breuer, who worked the eighth for Kansas City, disposed of two Redskins on strikes, Umpire Bill Guthrie, working back of the plate, had his chest protector deflated by a foul tip in the first inning and in the fourth was forced to banish Manager Meyer of the Blues, who was popping off on the bench. Walter Judnich, XK. ©. center fielder, came within a short distance of deadlocking the score in the ninth. He belted one high and far to the right and Chapman backed against the wall Tor the catch. It was LaRocca’s first starting assignment this season and Niggeling’s fourth victory with mo losses. I.aRocca lost his bearings in the second stanza, struck Mesner with a pitched ball, issued three walks and made a wild pitch, but the horseshoes were with him and the Indians failed to score during the wild spell. Manager Schalk shook up the Tribe lineup again, benched Wasdell and used Pilney in left field and in the leadoff position.

House construction or buying a ready-built home is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so the average person must rely upon the ability and reputation of a contractor, architect, or real
estate company.
A competent, responsible builder can be relied upon to deter mine the quality of materials and workmanship . . . to check specifications . . . to see that an inexperienced buyer is not “caught” with liens for unpaid material and labor bills.
There are many reputable companies and individuals building and selling houses. When you make this important investment, make an intelligent investigation of the builder and the company.
There are always a few inexperienced or even dishonest builders. They have been subject of complaint in the past for faulty construction, misleading sales practices and failure to live up to contracts. The inordinately low bidder may, in the end, make a larger profit by taking advantage of your lack of knowledge, by substituting cheaper materials or by skimping on workmanship.
When in doubt find out.
