~ "NMA game at the park on
Regatta Day. For the
fifth consecutive time they took the
Elks into camp, making run In the
home stretch Of eight straight victo-
ries. This breaks this years record
for straight games won and equals that
Of any previous season.
Probably the second largest crowd
Of the season massed around the dia-
mond to see the final struggle. There
were fully 1000 people present to see
the Reds take a fall out OF the enemy.
1t was a typical holiday crowd always
jolly and orderly. The noise and root
ing surpassed that of any other game
OF the season, there being on hand all
sorts of devices to make a noise. The
crowd was plainly II. A. c., although
the Elks did not entirely lack rooters.
