Although Umpire MGrath favored
the home team with the rankest de-
cisions seen on the local diamond this
season, yet the Equitable Assurance
Team won most sensational game
Saturday afternoon with four points
to spare At the end of the ninth in
ing the score stood 30. The tenth
was opened by Lamar, of the Equlta-
Sies who scorched out hot one and
was safe at first by a mile, but UNI
pire McGrath, he of pirate fame,
thought differently calling him out.
Instantly there was great uproar
the Equitable team finally deciding
to abide with the umpire's opinion.
But Bernard the next to the plate
planted one in left field which stayed
there long enough for him to cover
two sacks. Hit after hit followed
and when the last man had been
called out five runs showed on the
score board for the visitors. Madison
in her half of the inning, managed
to send one weary pilgrim around the
four corners. Score by innings:
