OIL CANS WIN
FOUR STRAIGHT
FROM ALL-STARS

During the big celebration the
Parco Oil Cans won four straight
games from the Wyoming All Stars.
This gives the Oil Cans a record OF
having won IS and lost four games
out of %, an exceptional record. All
the games were fast and scores close
except ir the third game in which
the Oil Cans went a little wild" and
clouted the old ball around the lot
sufficiently to allow 16 of the boys
to romp across the home plate while
their competitors were hard pushed
to score once. 1t is a little hard to
determine just who played the best
games of the four, practically every
man got to the point where he had
clouted the ball for several bases
before the tournament was over and
their fielding was almost %errorless.
Sensational catches were made by
players on both teams and double
plays became almost an ordinary
event. Stolen bases were quite fire.
