~ or an unfinished game was on the cards;
something unusual foT the amanur
leagues to do.
Quite a few of the games We're of the
major league variety and some were or
the Marquette League" type. But taken
all in all. the class of ball played of late
is much better than in the early part OF
the season.
The work of the CaIIow brothers bat
terry for the Car Department team of the
r. R. Y. NJ c. A. League the past few
games has been of the highest order.
Besides doing great work in the points,
the Callows are sluggers and are always
there with the necessary base hit.
The Kendall team, of the Independence
League, is perhaps the youngest set of
bsn tossers in the circuit. and Coach
Sterns deserves a lot of credit for build
ing up 4 winning aggregation. Whas
the youngsters need is an old receiver
who can coach the tw;rlers. 1t would

Christians are after the scalp of the Kid

There is a persistent rumor going the
rounds of the amateur ball tossers that
Lefty Wooden, the star portwheeler
OF the Ninth team in the Sunday School
League, has severed his connection with

1t is a peculiar thing, but fact, never

article of ball. Tony Suess is another
HamIinite who has left the Sunday School
