The two teams battled for Eve innings

Contest Proves Interesting.
The game was well played, and the
crowd was repaid for its trouble in sit
ting In the hot sun for an hour and a
half. The Bankers did not display the
same ginger that has characterized their
playing heretofore. and their defeat at
the hands OF Parkview on Friday seemed
to take all the life out Of them.
Another incident that should not be
forgotten IS the great game that Big
Hummer pitched for the Farmers. He
was touched Up for four hits and issued
six passes. but the passes were given
mostly a a way OF getting rid Of likely
stickers. Howard. too. twirled a good
game. and had his team mates been able
to solve Hammers delivery at the right
time they might have been able to get a
couple OF runs, but Hummer looked too
much like Bernie Gallagher in the eyes
OF the young bank clerks, and they could
not hit him.
Howard not only pitched WELL but made
half Of his teams hits. He connected for
two beauties Barber made two hits for
his team. one OF which was a double, the
only extra base hit of the game.
