Even the Fairest swimming stroke
a man uses may be underhanded.
That Berlin Construction team
worked we'll last night, plenty of per
and teamwork and good hitting.
The sight of "old" Art Lawrence

sight to warm the cookies of the old
timers hearts. Artie made good
comeback and pitcher a sweet game,
allowing but three hits.
rip" McKeon, another old timer
is mighty good bacllstop and last
night the crowd was surprised when
he tllvvered a throw to third base.
Knapp showed good sportsmanship
but poor baseball Judgment, when he
told Mccormick that he had neglected
to touch third base, thus giving the
fleet footed Bertnite chance to get
back in time.
Umpire Youpg's decisions were not
all approved BY the crowd, but the
former Detroiter was there every
minute and worked hard. 1t always

than from btck OF the plate.
That boy IDoran, who plays first
base for Berlin, looks to be about the
best first btseman in these parts. He
fields his POSITION faultlessly, gets the
ball off tabt and is a good hitter. On
the bases he is a flash. All in all,
he's abott as good as they come in

worthy rival for the title of premier

to play with the Louisville club of
the American Association and is now

Marsans played with the st. Louis
Browns and Cincinnati before going
to the Yankees Until his health
went back on Jim he made the grade
