AT that they haven't anything to be

OF the nerve-racking order and. after
the second inning, there was not much
question as TO how the thing would
turn out, the west side lads put up q

Mr.. Balls throwing was, next to
Oswsld's pitching. the feature Of the
game. Third on the list comes the
work of Ira Odgers on second. He
played the position perfectly and. oon-

above the average.
Art Noyes and Fred Michaud OF

overlooked.
Lou Henry on first. Clyde Henry on

in his usual garden and played his us

"Bony" Dixon was on the mound

pretty regularly His game was not
as strong as he has put mp against the
locals In by-gone days yet 1t was not
exceptionally bad. A fellow named

The west siders put up a nice, cred
