Urania easily defeated George

game by score of IL to l. The
visitors managed to squeeze in
one run in the third inning. At
no other time during the melee
was there any likelihood of the
visitors breaking through the
stone wall infield.
Urania's hits came in clusters
and the visitors were at the
mercy of their hard hitting op-
ponents throughout the entire
game. At the beginning of the
seventh inning Urania had Z
runs. This inning was opened
by a triple and a two Dagger.
The locals then bombarded Law
son and put three runs over and
completely routed Lawson from
the mound. Picou then placed
