The mines representing the Packing

Thread company tried conclusions on
Saturday afternoon on the greenSward

resulted, but the Spooling room con-
tfngent proved to be too much for the
Packing room crowd and won the con-
test by the score of SO. The losers
had the game well in hand up to the
seventh inning, when things began to
break badly for them. The Packing
room has now played five games this
season and their defeat Saturday af-
ternoon was the first of that number.
The batteries were: Doyle and Shop
