record would have been three victories
would have advanced a little, as the

The crowd at yesterdays game was
about the largest OF the season. The
big left field pavilion was crowded,
while on the south side of the gridiron
the crowd was several rows deep
The game itself was cratic At times
the teams showed flashes of good foot
