The Santa Fe Auditors. the new ball team
at the general offices, took another game
from the Y. NJ. c. A last Saturday after
noon. The game was played on the
Washburn grounds and resulted in score
of to II in favor of the Santa Fe team.
This is the first game that has been played
by a Santa Fe team since the former ticket
and freight auditors consolidated and came
out under the name of the Santa Fe Aud
itors. The players from the freight de-
partment deserve as much credit for the
result of Saturdays game as any of the
other players. but the members from the
ticket auditing department feel especially
happy. as it was the seventh straight game
they have won this season. They have
played fifteen games in all and have won
eleven out of the fifteen. This is re-
markable record and is more than any
other Santa Fe team can boast of.
