 STRAIGHT ON BURNS HI

T,ailing by one run, and up to bat for the last time in the game, the r1otilla found Doherty, the star twirl- ar of the American Legion, for trlp-
 Ie and three singles, which mixed with base on balls, scored two runs hafore a man was out and clinched hard fought game, on Saturday 1l the Sub Base.
 Inst two weeks ago, playing against inc Taunton A. C., the F'lotllla went into the ninth three runs behind ana scored four runs, winning the game with none out in the inning. It was Eddie Burns, the fleet little center fielder who drove in the winning runs in this game, and it was the ohly hll he made in the game.
 N.turday. Burns faced the same 1 situation. When he walked to the plate 1 in the ninth, the bases, were packea | and no one was out at the time A | hit meant victory, and Eddie hadn't hit all day. But on this occasion, ne | duplicated his feat of two weeks ago, | when he lined out hit to right field l and Albertson Sallied with the win 1 1 ming run. .,.4
 The victory was the tenth straight | for the Flotilla, who seem to have l hit their stride and are@ now gong. along in fine style.

 in the ninth that started the bom-
 bardment which caused the downfall
 of Doherty, and brought victory to
