the Amboy team. and the score there

the latter part of the seventh inning.
which was agreed upon as the inal
inning, and the score at the time stood
1T.
The acting manager of the Leonar-
do team notified Coach Evans of the
local team and Umpire Regain that
the game was under protest during
the playing of the first part of the
seventh inning. His grounds for such
a declaration were based or the fact
that with a man on first base, n wild
throw by Sofield allowed the man
on first to go to third base, but the
manager of the Leonardo team claim
ed that the man could complete the
circuit on this throw, whereas the
ground rules allowed a man to. take
one base on a wild throw.
The final break came in the last
part of the seventh inning. Amboy
had a man on third and one on second
with one out. Olsen started for home

The Amboy team showed up well
in the initial game on their schedule,
the battery working in classy condi-
ton. Zalari and Kochek each secured
two hits of the game. Sladkus proved
