ELDERS MAKE IT
THREE STRAIGHT
Home Team Again Moves Up to
Third Place.
CLOSE GAME AND HOT FINISH
CLUBS TO Play DOUBLE-HEAD-
Err THIS AFTERNOON.

There wasn't much chance to loaf dur
ing that little fracas at the Walker lot
yesterday. either. one more bingle in that
ninth inning would have changed the corr
pIexion OF the case nightly but. happily,
no bingIe was hinged. Instead, Easbinder
hit one to Clark and In a close sDrintng
match Clark beat him to the bag By
an eyelash and the third straight game
belonged to the Elders TO say nothing OF
third place in the percentage table.

Double-Header Today.
This afternoon there viii be two separate
and distinct games. all for the small sum
of one admission The bother will begin
at O. clock sharp-uore the early hour
and continue until two knOCkouts take
place. Titus and Meredith are expected TO
pitch for the Elders, while Quick and Vas
binder VIII serve for the champs. There
be those who confidently predict the
