Reports indicate that the game was
exciting from start TO finish and
though the Scribes were badly beaten
they were not disgraced, losing
through bad fielding and poor team.
work. Bonehead plays were made by
all the Scribes except two, Wing and
Purner. Wing as catcher ID good
and needs no apologies. Petersen's
pitching was q feature and the forty
eight hits made OF his delivery could
have been cut In half by snappy field

of weakness and McMullin at short

fielding In general was ragged, remind.
