Wayne Duvall, for Franklin, pitched an airtight game, holding the mound for nine innings and sending them across big league style. . Pattillo not four hits out of five times up, and kept up his batting average, which stays ai about .800. Manager Vance Miles, who has been coaching the Franklin boys, was highly pleased with the show ing made Sunday. The change in the batting order meant runs, and his order to Russell to sacrifice (which didn't turn out a sacrifice, but a run) was a beautiful play.
