third took his last bit of stuff and
big Frank Watt was rushed to the
hill.

two runs scored to beat the Bears,
Z to5.

the rampaging Steers until the eighth.

leading the hitting attack, were the
two redmcn. Mason and Kahdot.

spcctacularly aficld. Kahdot saved
the day couple of times with remark
able stops and had seven assists, all
told.
