ELkS DEFEATED LIONS
THREE TO ONE TUESDAY

It's a long road that has NO turn
ing, but the turn has come. 1t re-
mained for the Elks to take the
kinks out OF those chesty Lions.
And they did it. Tuesday evening
there was nothing to it; the Elks had
1t all over the Lions from the start,
and it was not until the last inning
that the Lions were able to score, al
though twice the bases were loaded
too late to count.
Sampson. the Elks' pitcher, was
going good, and allowed only three
hits, while he chalked up eight strike
outs to his credit. Rausch was an
admirable backstop.
Norman had an off day. allowing
his opponents nine hits but tanning
seven men. The score was 81, Whit
lock, Rausch and Richards making
the runs for the Elks. and Ewy for
the Lions. Twice NJ. Springer sue
ceeded in reaching third, only to die
there, when followed first by a fan
ming gentleman and last by o.
which rapidly found its way into the
hands of that crafty Sampton.
This evening (Friday) the Rotary
and Legion will play. and the next
game Tuesday, June IL. will be be-
tween the Elks and Legion.
