The st. Paul team went down to
their first defeat In the game played
with Westminster at the "Y" gym
last evening. The game was nip and
tuck until the sixth inning with the
heavy end of the score slightly in IA
vor of the st. PauPs. However, in the
sixth the Westminsters had rally
and took the lead, in the same inning
shutting out their opponents. The
last inning was somewhat sensational
and when the ST. Paul's came to bat
1t looked like they would easily over
come the lead of six runs. Board
pitching for Westminster walked the
first two men and had three balls and
no strikes on the batter. Well, when
you get sick, send for the doctor. so
the Westminsters sent for Doctor Full
Ter, and he proceeded to serve up the
right kind of pills and forced the bat
ter to hit. This hit struck base run
ner, which made the first out The
next batter sacrificed and scored two
men which cleared the bases and the
next batter was feldad out at first
The final score being 10 to Is in favor
of Westminster.
The Christians defeated the Baptfsts
for the second time in the same week
However, the Baptists were seriously
handicapped by the loss Of two of
their regular players from the lineup.
Perhaps If they had administered the
same dope that the Westminsters did
only in the first inning rather than
the last, they too would have won the
game. Barring the first inning the

east of Ypres and have captured all
their objectives, consisting OF many
strong positions.
The attack was launched south
east of Poelcapelle and northward
along the southern border OF the
Houtholst forest.
The fighting front covered a dis
tance of about mile and a half.with
the French operating on the north
ern and the British on the southern
ends. Near poeicapelle the British
drove on beyond their objectiveS and
gainedimportant ground. The French
troops took the southern defences of
the Houtholst forest and in addition
a series of fortified farms.
The attack began in the early hours
of the morning after a >heary bonn
bardment of the German positions
and apparently the Allies met with
only slight resistance. The gains OF
ground were quickly made. and af.
