though the boys won the A. W. pen
nant last year they have fallen down
hard on the game this year.
Imp Ryan's reorganized Hillside
team promises to give a good account
OF itself against Rockford the next

out of the cellar. Boston slipped into
the last mitch when overall and the
Cubs shut them out and Cincinnati

to reach third base on the six hits he
yielded and the Phillies broke up the
