In the greatest battle in the Marquette
League this season Green BANKED the
Compassionate to yesterday, and Pen
sion Bureau is once more at the top of
the heap.
Green allowed the Hilltoppers but two
hits. famed nine and walked but one.
His work was the feature of the game.
for with him in the center of the diamond
the Pensioners had no trouble defeating
their rivals.
As is usual, the Congressionals played
a brilliant game in the field, although two
errors are marked up beside the teams
record for the day. while the winners
made four misplays. some of which al
most gave the boys from the hill chance
to cross the pan. But whenever man
would reach first Green would tighten
up. whiff her over, and the result was
always the same-nO runs. As a result
the losers had five men left on the has
socks, and had a Congressional batter
been able to connect safely at a critical
period of the game some of those who
died on base would have adorned the run
