 The Clerks triumphed over their bosses, the Merchants, last Thursday afternoon, in. the clash in Hyde Park, by a score of 15 to 13. In order to make players battle, the next best | thing to being tout for blood' is to be out for money. This was the case | Thursday and the conflict surely was | hummer. As marvellous mounds | man Cyka is no longer known. The reason-he was knocked from the slab in the third inning. The rest of the f1inging was done by George Scussell.

The morning game was a sad affair: the least said about 1t the better. One bad misplay started the whole thing. The locals failed to brace up after it and more errors were made with the result of IS to 0. It was apparent that Monson was bent upon victory by the changes made in their lineup, having hired a few players of strong repute. The Stafford team had every intention of taking the afternoon game. The morning defeat really seemed to have put determination into them. For the first two innings Cerago held them we'll In the third inning however, the Monson men, who really could handle a bat, managed to bunch a few hits These, coupled with bit of thoughtless playing and an error, re- suited in three runs for the guests. The fourth was a repetition of the third inning as far as runs went, and in the fifth the visitors made two more tallies, totaling 8. Stafford's only two runs came in the last of the fifth. All scoring was stopped after the fifth and the game was worth watching there after. One more counter in the ninth made the result, MonsOn 9 Stafford 2.
