playing was the cleanest that has been
witnessed this year, not kick or an acct
dent marring the eight innings of play.
The winning team won strictly on it's
merits and outplayed the St. Patricks at
every stage of the game, although but for
three unfortunate errors on the part Of the
losers the score would have been 1 to 0.
The champions are managed by John
Daley, who, next to Gallagher. deserves
the credit for his teams victory. He has

big game and established record which
will hold in the league for some time. fan

was expected and barely outbatted their
opponents, although they led in base steal

The officers must be commended for maxi

the leagues history. Umpires Berger, Sa-
grario and Shipley have also done good
work, while the services Of Mr.. Barber as

too highly praised.

teams have been received by the secretary
and recorded: st. Joseph, St. Theresa, ST.
Martin, ST. Vincent, St. Dominic, ST. Peter.

to carry on the District championship this
fall. There are plenty of fans in Blooming
dale who are willing to back their team
to finish at least second in the race, and
they will give odds that the Immaculates
will not be last in the series.
