that has been bothering the minds of the
fans of the Sunday School League for the
past week, was definitely settled on the
Mt. Pleasant gorunds yesterday afternoon.
when the Gurley team. from LIE Droit Park.
played the~Eoundry Methodist team a fast
game of ball with duration of five in
nings. the latter winning by the score of
to 4.
The Foundry boys started to do their
run getting in the first inning. but cooled
down in the second. In the third they found
their fast pace again. and batted the ball
out for three hits. which, with the aid of
an error. placed three runs over the plate.
The Foundry boys received a good many
less hits to their credit and got good
many less free passes. yet seemed to
have the ability to make the least mis-
play hit count in the run column. The
orange and black boys made the hits all
right, but at inopportune moments. and in
consequence n good many of their men
were left at the post
There will probably be a series of games
arranged as soon as 1T is convenient be-
tween the Foundry and the Guntons to de-
eide who shall have the honors which at
tend the winning of the second place. This
will keep the interest of the fans agog for
