Last TUESDAY ten OdSo OdlI
cranks wearing Wa-Keoney uni
forms and twenty very enthusi-
astic fans autoed to Cove City
where a return game of ball
was played on the diamond north
of the school house at Cove.
At o'clock the game was call
ed with Since and Keraus bat
terry for Wa-Keeney and Heinz,
Royer and Renicker battery for
Cove.
The game was a good one from
start to finish. In the last half
of the third inning Cove scored
the first run; in the first half of
the fourth Wa-Keeney tied the
score. From that time on it was
anybody's game up to the first
half of the fifteenth inning when
'Tippy" Davis stepped up to the
plate and swatted the ball right
on it's nose for a home run but
he was caught at the plate. His
three bagger scored the winning
run. Tippy" was the hero of
the game and the Wa-Keeney
bunch think there is no fan like
