Csffrey Sprains Ankle
Eleven men were used by Putnam
IN gaining the decision over their
rivals. the most effective Of whom
was John Cafrey, who did the twirl-
ing. In the third frame Mr.. Caffrey
sprained his ankle, but he wouldn't
quit Though it hurt him more than
he would acknowledge, he remained
on the hill and pitched an excellent
game, allowing but two treeordedl
hits in II innings. There's record
enough for any pitcher TO gloat over.
While Mr. Caffrey had his big part
in the victory. his teammates also
did their jobs well and helped gather
in the WATERFOWL crew. But Uncle"
f Ernest MORN also did his share in the
winning Of the game. even 4 he did
play on the sidelines. Uncle MORN
was cheer leader and rs such ne was
a winner.
As promised before hand, A H.
Cutler was in attendance with his
camera and be seemed to be every

unusual scenes as he flew by Every
one on the outing will want TO see
the Finished pictures-especially some
