Eddie Burns is the boss of

anything the little chap wants,
all he has to do is to name it.
For Eddie's long swat to left,
with two on bases, and with a 0
to score, In the last half of the
ninth, that won the game and
brought JOY to the hearts of the
Tiger bugs yesterday afternoon.
Bert Hall and Blaine Thomas,
leading twirlers of two aspiring
ball teams, were on the battle
line yesterday, and If anything
Mr.. Thomas had shade on Mr..
Hall. although both pitched as
nice ball as has been seen on the
local lot this year. Thomas
Whitfield ten of the Tigers, while
Hall, content to take things more
easy, retired but two Islanders to
the bench. But things sort of
went to smash in one inning with
Mr.. Thomas or that game might
be going yet. First Mike walked,
after stopping one Of Blaine's
fastest with his body. Coley sin
gled-his second by the way -
and then the mighty Burns step
ped to the plate. Two down all
this while, mind you. The first
was a foul strike and the umpire
called the second, which nearly
broke Eddie's heart. 1t was do or
die and Burns preferred to do.
Catching one of Thomas low ones
close in, he drove 1t way over
Ben Davis head. Under the es-
cortage of Mr.. John Bassey of the
coaching line, Mike trotted proud
ly over the plate, and the game
was over. Coley could have scored
and likewise Burns, but why
humiliate our visitors further.
