37-37 Score At
Game Between
Reds and Blues

Unlocked for complications have
arisen as a result of q tie score Gf
81 to 81 last night when the" Blues
and "Reds' played their second
baseball game of the series. II is
thought that the only way out
may be by means Of boxing gloves
and fistic dispute.
The two teams started off cody
enoug. in the first inning and it
looked rs though making the cir
cult would be as difficult as round
the world air flight. But the pyro-
technics were sudden and over
whelming when they did begin. In
a single inning the Reds" scored
l9 runs and shook the rafters with
the tread of running feet as one af-
ter another they tracked around
the bases. But their sudden lead
was shortlived, for Immediately af-
terwards the Blues" caught the
habit and clouted the pill to every
corner of the high school gym, run
aing across the platter with IL bona
sido scores.
There viii be q third game next
Tuesouy, according to present plans,
provided team members can work
out the kinks in fheir legs before
