Here's what they say about it:

Conrad WEIGH. worthy descendant of
the Iron Puddlers, again won the right
TO the championship title among the
bulb servers in the Juvenile organiza-
ton. Two costly exhibitions of bad
judgment on the part of Bratton placed
a hard handicap on his work. while
Brindle Bayne had faultless support.
It was the heavy base netting
s1nashes that won the game from the
Highlanders. 1t was hard for Mr..
Kohler TO look at the diamond soecta-
Gle without getting real angry. 1t isn't
Just the thing, perhaps, to recall just
now, but Mr.. Kohler had tied his nat
ural modesty in a knot in his handker-
chief and stated that it would be three
stra!ghts from the Pathfindars just
as it had been from the others.
Added sorrow is to be secured by
glance at the league standing. We are
crowding the erstwhile leaders. Dan
gerously close we are getting, and MI
Kohler wakes uncomfortable. Wlth
but a short space intervening II was
hard, awfully hard, the storm that
blew uD and sent him and his careen-
ing in the flood of Pathfinder tallies.
started to Work Early
Bob Kennedy took up the mace and
smashed out the wherewithal Tor
safe passage in the very early stages
LAYING the corner stone for victory.
Bratton hunted Bob down to second
and then Messrs. Burt, Ittig and Ray
took up the walloping wand and pune
tured the aerel view with enough hts
TO make the first entry on the black
board 2.
There was a blank panel waiting for
the Kohlerites. Oyler toyed with
Lipe's fast one, then tossed it over to
Sunny Jim of vigor, vim. perfect trim.
Holmes took care of a crushed bulb
which went skyward from Smiths
sceptre. and r. Kenndy pulled Du-
plane's rainbow off the right field par
apet.
In the second inning, Mr.. ayne,
giver of the swerving sphere for the
Highlanders. was temporarily bereft OF
his sense of location so that Holmes re-
ceived a sharp punch in the ribs after
Oyler had been thrown out from the
second stop. After he had sauntered
gaily down the chalk walk ne was
forced out at second by Welch's tardy
one to short. And then. Con stood on
one foot with Hoffman while X. Ken
nedy assumed possession of the bat.
At this juncture the recording ticker
spluttered and the waiting fans at the
Library Hall knew that something had
happened Then came the news. On,
what Joy Ii hung aloft then dropped
over into the Central Railway tank
some distance out of town, while both
Bob and Con did a cake walk through
the gutta percha entrance to victory
Lane. Bratton made a shot down to
first and halted half way down the
chalk.
Stinson was the first man to feel the
mellow whack of leather against wood
for the Highlanders. Hoffman follow
ed with a singing hit which ]. Ken
nedy managed TO halt by skyline
leap. The ball didn't stick to his hand
gear, but he picked it up in a hurry,
and tossed it at second in the belief
that Mr.. Bratton would be there to get
it, But Mr.. Bratton was standing
thinking of some alien thing. Hoffman
took a train to third on Blakes rap to
first, but Con would let them get no
further. He motioned Tom Connors to
stand a little to one side, in case OF ac-
cident, and Holmes braced himself to
put the fat to the hot ones that came
sizzling across the rubber. Both Har-
nish and Sentel baked and refused to
hit anywhere near the ball, and were
sent to their places in the field again.
Scored One i'm the Third.
The silence disturbers on the bleach
ers We're the only busy ones during the
third session, Burt flew out to sec
ond. Ittig famed and Ray curved one
over to center. Bayne hit a hard drive
10 right which Kennedy could not APP
proach safely. Lipe was slow in beat
ing one out at first Bayne going to
third. crossing home on Smiths long
drive to center which Ray was unable
to handle to the plate in time. Dup
lame retired the side.
In the fourth Bayne was unusual
~ liberal. Three men were given
free passes. ]. Kennedy was the
first one served. He was forced out
AZ second on Oylers bunt. Holmes
and WEIGH were the next to be served,
The silence was intense as Beat 'em
Out Kennedy walked up to the bat
with three apostles on the paths. Over
anxiety was the cause-he waved the
wand mystically and retired Brat
ton did little better. He fouled out
and Oyler was caught.
Later Stinson murdered WEIGHS first
ball. Bratton toyed with a sunbeam
and let Hoffman's pop fly get through.
Stinson made another link in the quad
rangle and scored on Blakes drive TO
right. Harnish flew out to first. and
Hoffman was forced out at second on
Sentelis not one TO Bratton, which
that gentleman managed to halt.
Bayne went to second on a ball, which
bounded over Sunny Jim's head. He
scored later on Lipe's single.
Tied the Score.
In the sixth Smith got another run
safely on the scales, balancing the
score. Blake punched his way to first
and by the grace of a misjudged ball
was forced TO second by Sentel, who
got it right over the heart, after Har-
nish had left his card at the home
