ALGIERS 4, MORRISITES 1.
CIcary's Homer i'm Extra Inning
Breaks Up Pitching Duel at
Clease.

With the score locked at l to l
and Heinemann and Markell staging
an exciting pitching duel, Cleary de-
cided it was time to go home and
promptly drove one of Markets spit
ters over the left centerfield fence.
1t was some drive.
Threatening weather hurt the at
tendance at little, but the crowd of
about two hundred fans who were
present saw a real, sparkling game of
baseball. And what is more, they
saw Algiers wipe out the defeat of
two weeks ago when the Morrisites
got the best of the breaks and won
in the same kind of a battle. The
score in both games stood l to l
while each team battled for suprem-
acy. Both games went an extra in
ming and both ended with the same
score, 4 to 1.
Let's get back to Sundays game.
1t must be said that both clubs play
ed brilliantly. Heinemann had a
shade the best of the battle with
Markell. Heine, ex-jackie star, al
lowed but two hits and famed seven.
Not a Morriste reached first base
until the sixth inning. The locals
garnered six hits off Markell and five
of our boys went out via the strike
out route. One one base on balls
was issued and that one by Markell
to Ike (Babe RUTH Whitmore. Ike
had knocked in that big run on his
previous trip to the plate.
In the fourth with one down Cleary
drove hot one to short and was safe
when Snyder threw low to first. Je-
rowski singled, Cleary stopping al
second. Kirk Abbott flew out but
Whitmore singled sharply to center
Cleary scoring and Jerowski pulling
up at third. On an attempted dou
BILE steal. Jerowski was caught of
third, ending the inning.
This one run looked big until the
, sixth inning when the Morrisite!
knotted the count. Bauman, first up
famed. Rupperts singled to center
and was the first visitor to reacl
first base. Markell famed and Kirl
Abbott shot the ball to first to catci
Rupperts mapping. The big Morris
ties catcher made a dash for seconC
and was safe when Gus Knowles ant
Mark Abbott both tried to take tn
t throw to second. Reynolds singled
Rupperts tieing the count.
Heines and Mark Abbott were oc
y cupying the bases with two out wheI
Cleary broke up the game in tn
eighth inning.

Rev. Father Hayes, S. NJ, who takes
so much interest in boys, is at Bay st.
Louis for few days looking over the
grounds for a location of his Boy
Scouts. AS soon as a fit location is
found preparations will be made to
take the troop over there for week
or more of outdoor life. This will be
a great event in the boys life and all
should help out Father Hayes in his
| good work.
! Father McGrath, S. NJ, just returned
| from a short visit to his brothers in
Atlanta, Ga He is ready to start
again the daily routine of parish work
which he has done so we'll since his
coming to Algiers.
The new pastor is still a mystery.
Somebody knows, but that somebody
absolutely refuses to say a word.
Meanwhile the sad realization that
Father Larkin is going to leave is
dawning upon the parish, and this
realization is falling on Algiers like
a dark cloud that threatens to en-
velope it in a deep sorrow. Many still
refuse to believe that his departure is
true, and his numerous friends still
hope that the authorities will yet
change their minds. The expressions
of loyalty from his friends are most
touching and show how deeply Father
Larkin has impressed himself in the
lives of his parishioners. Meanwhile
things are at a standstill in the par
ish, awaiting the orders and enthu
siasm of the new incumbent.
