different walks and runs of life, who
gathered to witness a struggle be-
tween two mighty bands of warriors
the greatest rivals recorded in the
annals Of Perth Amboy baseballdom.
It's all over now, for the Franklins
easily won, 6-1, and as an %appropri-
ate climax to such an important oc-
c%asion, Tommy Smith gobbled up the
last ray of hope in the Toolin camp
In the ninth administration of yester-
days engagement when he made a
fire-escape catch of Stinson's liner
which looked like a sure hit that
would pave the road for a Saint rally,
but which instead opened the doors
for the Apologize crew to those sa-

baseball championship, the dream
and goal of the Franklins, now real

and Pete Peterson harvested a tally,
the only one, for the State street

brightest style every minute and at
every angle OF the tussle. In direct
contrast to his form OF last Sunday,

completely baffled his opposing bats
men when hits meant runs.
Every player Of the Frankl1ns
helped their -favorite twirler by ac-

with the exception Of one play, when
by two errors Mullen scored with
the Saints only run, their work on

but could not see save their best bet,
lanky Jack, for while he allowed
but six safeties during his six inning
stay, four Of the five runs scored
against him were EARNED ONES

came their way. Christy made four
assists and two put-outs without a

Rodda and Looser roamed about
in the center pasture, each like an

while Rodda nabbed four sky rock
