In Sundays game our boys
got away to a flying start. Sla-
gle scored a run in the first.
Glenmora came back in the sec
ond and scored four runs on a
triple by Brooks and three con-
secutive singles by Thompson,
Little and Lipcecum. At this
stage it looked as though the
game was on ice as there was a
string of goose eggs oNthe score
board until the seventh then
thing began to happen. An inn
portant part of the Gfenmora in
field went all to pieces and ran
after run was let in on errors.
when the fray was over the
score stood Slagle 6Glenmora 4,
Thompson pitched a brainy
game and while hit frequently
hit only one earned off his deliv-
cry. Only 6 hits were made off
Cason2 but the Red Stockings
punched four in the second. It
was a heartbreaking contest and
by all +ru1es,of the game ThOmp-
son should have won. RnN after
