The Jinx Is After Yale's Team

Yale was handed a lemon by the
Port Huron high school team last Sat
urday at that little burg and it came
within one Of being shut out Our
boys showed the first flash of real
base ball SO far this season, and should
have won. They Onttielded their Op.
ponents at every stage of the game,
Port Huron winning its runs on good
clean hits. Ilallman pitched good
game and had seven strike-outs credit
ed to him against II for "Old man.
French. He walked :; French 4. He
also hit two men, but seemingly didn't
hit the right ones Menerey, Reid and
Kennedy were there with the goods,
while LutZ did things that would do
credit to Ty Cobb.
The Port Huron boys played good
game and the Yale team can take q
heap of consolation out of the fact
that while French pitched good ball he
is beginning to age and had to be re-
lieved in the eighth.
