desperate effort and looked like win
ming the game at the last jump. Lemon
went to third on smash which sent
the ball to the left field fence. Van
malta brought in Mckenzie with nice
hit through short. Hamauku filed to
center field and Jones came to bat.

Tt didn t make any difference, however,
for the ball being thrown to second

The public schools have been closed

this action is the prevalence OF

the disease. Along with the closing
of the schools came the order sus-
