Navy Yard and Rex each scored

DAVIS contest at Union League Park
In the long duel that followed Navy

sixth inning got across the two runs
which gave it the victory.
The contest was pitchers battle be-
tween Kelly of Rex and Frye of Navy
Yard. The former was hit for only five
safeties and the latter for seven. Both
men did effective work, and the contest
was credit to the loser as well as the
winner.

the only one in the series that has any
thing like an even chance to beat out
