strains of to Q. The struggle was
fast, hard fought and decisive. To
the manner in which the forces were
martialed and the battle waged the
most iexacting critic could not have
raised a reasonable objection.
With John O'Hara back at second
and "Pompey" Cross at third. the
Shfpbnilders presented strong line
up, but the majority of the fanatics
were Of the opinion that the soldiers
would win and their opinions were
strengthened In the second session
when two of the gunners from the
historic old fort, who had been given
places on the sacks by errors, scored
on Milletts two.bagger into the right
garden. Two tallies are not so many
but when the home team failed to
make clean hit in the first five ses-
sions, 1t looked like they would be
enough to land victory In the Artil
