CAhNIVAL NINE AND ALL STARS
STAGE CIRCUS CINE

Fifteen or sixteen scores to one or
two, that's the story Of the baseball
game between the All Stars and the
Patterson carnival team, in short. The
larger figures indicate the scores made
bv the All Stars. Manager Lauer-
mann is not certain if the above are
the exact figures, as the official scorer
quit in the first inning, being unable
to keep up with the game. The exhi-
bition lasted seven innings.
Charles Sylvester, the veteran first
baseman, wore an All Star uniform
Friday evening and he sure did come
back. Why, he just simply went out
and dared the manager to put him in
and then what did he do but get two
safe bingles in two times up and two
stolen bases, one from first to second
and one from third to home. Fans
who witnessed the game say they are
unable to understand how he stole
home.
