Ferdie Drumm pelted the pill. Mat

Until the last spasm 1t was a snap
py contest with Wilson and Null
downey going like clockwork. Each
had seven strike outs to their credit,
but Muldowney had only allowed two
hits, while five were tailed against
Wilson, but the son OF the "Auld
Sod" weakened and the Uniontown
Champs went down to defeat.
Ferd Drumm and Mccormick got
sassy with his Umplets and were
chased from the ground.
The scores were made as follows:
In the ninth inning with F. Dawson
down Grlbben walked, Clark hit to
left for single. Conoway hit to right
scoring Grlbben, McAyoy drew free
pass. McCoombs hit to third and
scored Clark, McGinty drew pass to

The Telegram would be pleased to
furnish Its readers with the batting
averages of the Drummers for all Of
the games played this year. but un-
fortunately 1T, or any other paper in
the league, cannot do so. This is
due to the fact that four clubs OF the
league do not keep an official record
of the scoresand in the games they do
nave, their scorers omit the most i'm
portant feature of a full box score
