GAME IN TWILIGHT LEAGUE

The Baptist twilight league team
started of with rush in its game
with the Methodists Friday evening
and won the contest in the first in
ming, making four hits and four runs
before being put out. In the second
inning they added another run on
two consecutive hits, in the fourth
a base on balls. two doubles and a
fielder's choice gave them three more
tallies. The final score was S-2.
With this victory the Baptists tie
with the Methodists for the league
leadership.
The Methodists showed their good
sportsmanship by going into the
game handicapped by the absence OF
four regular players, but not daunt-
ed thereby. Coburn took the burden
OF the pitching, with Blanchard as re-
lief for the last inning. The usual
responsibilities resting upon Blanch-
ard caused him to attempt to win the
game by oratory, with the result
that In the Methodist's time at bat
in the fourth inning. during a rally
which scored their two runs, he
coached Isenberger Off second base
with Kearns, the Baptist baseman,
in possession Of the ball near by.
That put-out ended the rally and the
scoring for the Methodists.
Johnny Smith. the Baptist pitcher.
