 Businessmen Conquer
 The Businessmen defeated the Standard Steel team last evening at the high school field in one of the most spectacular baseball games ever played here. the score being the de- cisive one of IS to 6. In the first inning the Businessmen started things when Mike Levine smashed a home run with Ted LaBonne and Carl Champion on base; this entitled him to the many awards offered to the hitter of the first four-play wall Top. The Standard Steel team scored twice in the second frame when Louis Datoi hit a high one to cen tcrleld and brought in Paul Hayes and Al Fawley. Then the Business men dug in in earnest and walked away from their opponents batting around twice in the fifth inning. This left both teams so exhausted that the game was called.
 Cunningham and Downham, to- gcther with the snappy "whitc wings" infcd. proved too difficult barrier for the Standard Steel hit tcrs to penetrate. The teams lined up as follows:
 Businessmen: Champion. 2b; Downham, c; Levine, 1b; Labonnc, &b; w. Cunningham, p; Thrall, ss; Englas, If; Cassidy, If; c. Cunning ham. Of.
 Standard Steel; Kcofer, c; Dato1, D: Birnbaum. h. Fawley 2b; Good rich. ss; Yacobcllis. 3b; Hayes, If; Landry, Of; Lee if.
 Murphy and Lattoo umpired.
 The game was exceptionally well attended the field being lined with cars anG the crowd being estimated at 500 persons, about as large number as ever attended game here. The Businessmen wish 10 thank tho Al-Plainriiles for allow ing them the use or the field and 10 commend thc losers for their sports manship.
 On next Tuesday evening the Basi- nossmcn will meet the Trumhuli Electric nine at the high school grounds, negotiations for the battle having boon completed on tho field last inghf by Managers Cheetham and Srridoman.
