the Our Boys Club of this city, the proceeds

With the exception of an error by Miller, the
Westminsters played an errorless game, while
the Our Boys did very well. Driscoll only
pitched his usual game for about FIVE innings,
retiring quite number on strikes; afterwards
he threw drop balls, which were usually hit

Our Boys their only run. The score by IN
nings was as follows:
