ROTARIANS WIN
SWAT FEST FROM
NAVAL OFFICERS
RoTEs STAGE COMEBACK IN
THURSDAYS B Sc BALL
GAME, SERIES is NOW
TIED

The Rotes came back Thursday
and decisively defeated the Navy
Officers in the fourth game of the
series being played for the ban
quet.
In the second inning the Navy
batters pushed five runs across
the plate and there was great
gloom in the Rote camp for last
week the best the Rotes could do
was to collect two hits. However,
the fighting spirit of the Rotes
was aroused and with two down
in their half of the second, a bat.
ting rally was started which re-
suited in nine tallies.
In the third inning with two
down the Rotes again assailed the
offerings of Biery, Navy twirler,
and before the last man was out
five more runs had been chaiked
up by the official scorer.
Extra base hits were plentiful,
Spottswood and Albury, battery
of the Rotes, each connecting for
Babe Ruthian drives, resulting in
home runs. George Perpall hit a
three Dagger during the melee,
and two base hits were plentiful
as the box score viii show.
Spottswood, George Morris and
Lieut.. Thomas all batted for
1000, Spottswood connecting for
three safe blows in three trips to
the plate and George Morris get
ting one clean hit after having
been passed once and hit once by
the pitcher. Thomas batted in
the last inning and made a clean
two Dagger but was run down be-
tween the bases and so ended an
imminent Navy rally.
The fielding stunts of the day
were pulled by Chezum and
Spottswood, both making sensa-
tional catches of line drives. In
Spottswood's case he caught a
ball bare handed, hot off the bat
of Spencer, Nays heavy hitter.
The fifth and final game of the
series win be played after the re-
turn on Melvin Russell and Spots
wood who are leaving for camp
this week with the local guards
men.

came home last winter to sing in
concert but only few hundred dol
lars were gotten. together.
Then the Wichita Rotary Club
learned of the situation and came to
Kathleen's aid. In twinkling, $5,-
