way toward losing the game yesterday

stand some time ago that he would twirl
the contest for him. Instead of doing so
he worked for the Andrews nine. in the
Commercial League. against the Walford
club.
II was big surprise to the patrons
of the game to see the Andrews team
Dust the Walford aggregation from hrst
place in the Commercial League yester

goods men had good hold on the top
position. The Andrews nine, though. be-
hind the good pitching of Engel showed
more strength than it has at any time
this year and came TO the front with
a rush.
The Walford club was considerably
weakened by the absence of Brewer.
Country Norris the Technical High

for the Andrews aggregation, when he
cleaned up with a three-base hit.

of the country; while for the last fs-

sumed. although production was not
very much greater This shows that
gold goes into the homes Of the peo-
