A team composed Of mostly old
time baseball stars now employed in
the claim department OF the Chesa-

classed a picked team from the other
Offices yesterday afternoon in very
exciting game, and made those husky
warriors bite the dust.

boys and did remarkably we'll. al
lowing only three hits. Tho game
went up to the fifth w..hout any
scoring. when Webb Gee singled,
stole second and came In on Harmans
three Dagger. Hartman was out try
ing to stretch II to homer.
The mighty throng Of claim de-
partment rooters, who had shivered
through eight innings. began TO get
uneasy at the ending of the ninth
when Walker famed, but Mundon
doubled to left and Gaskins was given
q base on balls.
Webb Gee weakened at this stage
and Ham Arnall sent u line drive far
over the ffelders' heads and every

tense and .dundon, Gaskins and Ham
Arnall were carried from the field on
the shoulders Of their admirers. The
