at $40.
this week by defeating Waverley, 10 to 3.
In the early inning the contest looked is
though Kendall would have a hard fight
to win, but errors always kept 1t ahead,
and when Tuohy went bad in the fifth
it got enough runs to put the game out
of danger.
Waverley was decidedly unsteady in
tight places, throwing wild and dropping
the ball with marked regularity with
men on the bases. Menefee had a chance
to stop the rally in both the second and
fifth innings, but he could not hold the
ball.
Good playing in the third cut off
couple of Kendall runs. Mess, first up,
hit to left for two bags, went to third
on an out Clements then hit to Tuohy,
who caught Mess off of third, and after
he had been played back and forth was
caught at the plate. Clements, trying to
stretch as many bases as he could, was
thrown out at third.
Balzer pitched good game, allowing
but seven hits and tanning twelve. He
was wild at times, but only once-the
seventh inning-did his wildness cause
him trouble.
