RAYMER DEFEATED
BY STERLING nine

Six air-tight innings Of real base
ball almost brought the Sterling bugs
to the verge of heart failure at the
fair grounds Sunday afternoon before
the speedy bunch Of tossers from
Raymer eased up the pace in the sev-
enth and the Sterling boys grabbed
the game l2 to 5. 1t was one Of the
lest fights staged in Sterling IN many
moons. Payne who was doing the
heavy work for Sterling, left the visit
ors down six walops while the Ster-
ling huskies were connecting eleven
times safely with Fowler's offerings.
1t was the first time the Raymer
e!ab had emerged from game this
season In possession of the lesser half
of the score. although 1t was the
fourteenth time they have crossed
their bats with an opponent.
Payne was given good support and
didn't give the Raymer boys chance
to get dangerous. Only three errors
were made behind him during the en-
tire game.
Fowler, who was on the firing line
comparatively tame until the seventh
frame when they went to bat with
blood in their eyes and slugged him
into oblivion. He was relieved by
Brown. who also came In for q gener-
Gus share of bombardment.
