game. Tuesday evenings struggle
between the High School and the
Clerks was quite an interesting
affair and good sized crowd shiv-
cred through two ten minute halves
to witness it. Owing to the fact
that the school boys did not reach
the Park until nearly five o'clock,
| it was late before the game started
and the last half was played by the
light of the moon. The Clerks
were weak at nearly every point
there wasn't semblance of team
work, or unity, and they went down
before the onslaughts of their op'
ponents like ten pins before a six
teen pound bowling ball. Score Is
| too.
