Lions Trample
KiWanian Ball Club

The Lions club baseball team was
an easy victor of the Kiwanis club
team on Libby field yesterday after
noon by a score of IL to 2. Numerous
cohorts of both teams were on the
sidelines and the audience enjoyed
the game as much as did the players
themselves.
The game was shortened to five in
nings and the playing was fast and
clean. That errors there were, two
for the Lions and one for the Kiwan-
ians should be laid to the cold wea-
Their rather than to the performers.
The star of the game was Roy
Moore of the Lions. His home run in
the first inning with two men on
bases sewed the game up for the
Lions and to go along with it he
knocked out mighty triple. Roy
was in the pitching box for the win
ners and the Kiwanians were able to
CLEAN but one hit from his deliveries.
Mayor Paul r. Baird received the
pitching assignment for the losers
but he was touched up frequently and
retired to the field, Alton Blake COM
ing in to take his place. The fielding
feature of the Kiwaninas was a dou-
BILE play executed by Braggo Erwin
and Ike Haines.

true, namely: that every one has an
equal chance to do his best.
