III was one great game, no matter
Midyette slammed the first ball pitched
10 the centre field fence for u home run
until the last yellow Jacket had been
retired in the ninth. For sensational
plays and exciting situations. that
game takes the prize. There was

one occasion. Garnctt was not up to
his usual form. although he lasted tho

Marston. who started on tho slab for
the Yellow Jackets did very well for
y while. but it was soon evident that
he was not pitching up to standard,
and the Loonics seemed TO have no
trouble in FASTING his curves all over
the grounds when they once got start

from his work last Saturday against
