The visitors put up fast snappy game
from the start. and ii was as much as

place I'm the Row, and he had his lunch
with him. prepared for long drawn out

and knew they were capable of putting
up the stiffest sort Of a game. But WINE
the game was one of the stln kihu, u

FIVE minutes.
There we're no brilliant or sensational
plays made. but the general work OF
both teams was well worth seeing ana
I'm striking contrast TO the game OF the
previous day ~.
West allowed eleven hits, but they
wore considerably scattered. and only
one run was made after the second inning.
A costly error In the second inning was
resonsible in most part for the three runs
made by Allentown I'm that inning. but
ofter mat the Cherubs settled down TO
good steady work. and not another run
ner got beyond second base

well supported. With the exception OF
the second inning. hits of him we're scat
