DIV. cool. reliable, effective.


This is Ivor Wagner, and neither of the
adjectives is misplaced when he mis-
gap in the outfield, meets an emergency
in the diamond, or mounts the nil as
the leader of the gang.
He was never steadier, cooler, more re-
liable or effective than yesterday when
on the Baronial heaving dump he graspeo
the Volunteers in his palm and slowly
crushed them to death.
The game ended with the Barons on
the heavy end of to l deal. Bits OF
fielding by ELAN, Emery and McBride
threw dash Of spice into the frolic OF
the afternoon, and the hitting of Large
William McGilvray and the throwing to
second by Elliott were features.
AS usual, the weather was damp ana
disagreeable, and this probably accounts
for the fact that very good game was
witnessed by a very few people.
visitors Were Listless
While the game from first to end was
rather slow, it was well played. The
Volunteers went through eight perfect
fielding innings, while the Barons oio
equally as we'll for the same distance.
In the ninth, however. ELAN booted
tirnid little grounder and Emery did like
wise a. moment later But Wagner re-
tanned his chara cteristic evenness of tenn
nerament and the duo of errors MADE
no difference in the final score.

but siegle's perfect return to the plate
on Molesworth's luscious swat killed him
at the plate.

until In the third Marcan and wagner

combination The proprietor of the key

unnecessary trouble to put on all MS
sprinting steam and make hair-ralsing
slide to the platter.
In the fifth the Barons got another.
ELAN opened with double TO right
center and went to third when Bronkle
heaved Marcan out at first. Wagner was
unable to deliver at this juncture, but

of schwartz and Patterson, opened the
passageway home.
