 Until the last half of the ninth in ing the score stood 10, in favor of #he Universals and the followers of #he Center street outfit were confident NJ win which would put them in ne for the. pannant. Their hopes
 were blasted, however, when with no uts, Elton singled, securing the ini- al sack by a wild throw.

The hit would have been a lure home run, but because of the #act that the two runs won the game or the Fafnir nine the game was onsid 9red over
 Il The Fafnir royal rooters' gave Rent to ther enthusiasm with a tri- pmphal march around the diamond arrying Liepitz, savior Of the day, Pn their shoulders.
 The game would have been 70
