the day. The Alamo got an early
lead, but the Convoy aggregation came
back fighting, and came within one
of tying it up, even putting over a
run in the ninth inning. The work Of
Pitcher Haas for the Alamo bunch

moons play. This big boy slammed
out a triple in the second which
scored the first two runs, and lie
showed great form in turning back the
tire men in one inning with the bases
loaded and only one down. Erbin of
