this church, including the members,
think they see the pennant in the dis

recent game in which the Methodists
won by the overwhelming score of
50 to 6, That the team is one of the
best scoring machines in the league

is composed of all old-timers and ex.

Coupling the scores made in other
games tn Methodists have scored al
most four runs to every one run for
their opponents. Not a single game
has been lost, although the percentage
column shows one defeat This was
accorded the Methodists in the first
game of the season which was lost
by forfeit.
