ball team added one more feather
to their already plumage laden lid'
when they gathered into camp the
"Byers Baseball Team of South
Saltwater to the tune of 9-3. The
game can best be described as a
pitchers battle and as our twirler
was the best man the laurels natural
ly went to him, for he had the con-
tinual support of his teammates.
The box score at the conclusion of the
game showed that our redoubtable
pitcher with the carrot top' had
allowed the visitors only five hits.

struck out seven. Wag as a back
stop played a remarkable game and
the way he coppered foul pops was
sight. The garden men were in
their prime and speared a number
of seemingly impossible high ones.
and the most of these sensational

were the pick of all the semi-pro
teams of Saltwater, and a couple of
regular professionals from some B.
class league. Alvin opened for the
visitors, but only lasted five innings
as our sluggers were too much for
him. For in that period we had
worked him for ten hits and four
passes while he had only famed 3.
P. Byers who replaced him, though,
was another proposition for he only
allowed the locals one hit in his
three innings while he struck out
four and passed none, but the
change was made too late to do the
visitors any good.
There was decided improve
ment in the way the umpire hand
led the game. And from the man
ner of Keck's work at this contest
we are of the opinion that it was
dismal weather. and a fit of the
blues that was responsible for his
erratic(0 behavior the previous
week. For when Keck is feeling
well which is usually the case
there is no question but that he is a
most fair and impartial umpire.
