h The Grenloch F. G. was defeated by
the Messiah Church of Phila Tygert
Iywho was to pitch for Grenloch, did
Isnot come, also Roselle, which left
HGrenloch without pitcher, but for
Fall that we had men on base in every
inning except the first, but were un-
able to push them in. In the ninth
it looked like sure victory for Gren
loch with one runner across the pan
and men on second and third with
but one out, but the best the next two
batters could do was to hit grounders
to first and second basemen.
