twisted a knee and was out six
weeks.
ShOrtstop Galloway out a month
with a broken finger.
First-baseman Hauser, cleanup
hitter, out three weeks with a
sprained ankle.
Outfielder Miller, hard hitter.

Of more than a month.
Jimmy Dykes, star second.base-
man, hit on q knee with q pitched
ball and out two weeks during n
crucial road trip.
SOuthpaw Fred Heimach, absent
a month and handicapped for the
season with a wrenched back.
Hale, expensive third-sacker,
out more than a month altogether
with variety of injuries.
Then there were the usual num-
Der of minor injuries.

for the permanent improvement of the
fair grounds or to help meet expenses
of another county fair next year
Meetings Of the board of directors are
held every Monday night i'll order that
no detail of the affair might be over
looked.
On one side of the fair grounds

tied it IN in the fifth when Baker
led off with triple and Holchak
scored him with a single.
In the last of the fifth Browns

Following the scoring, the Mountain
GERS settled down and retired the next

The two earned runs made by The
Aztccs came in the last of the eighth
