WAVERLY RACE MEET

Yesterday, in a contest etwee the
Walnuts and the Eagles, the latter won.
They proved their ability by batting two
pitchers out of the box and piling up
one of the biggest totals in hits made
in their season at the bat. 1t was the
second meeting, the first having given
them the victory by a greatly reduced
score. The Walnuts were cracked up to
be a strong nine and their rooters count
ed on a win but we're sadly ~disappoint-
ed. The Walnuts played steadily until
the last two innings, when the team
went all to pieces and their playing vas
a farce. They were powerIess to pre-
vent the, hits and runs, and the Eagles
screamed with delight as they saw sue
cess on their banners. The scores were:
