the first Sunday game of baseball

that the league play which will be

field day against the opposing
twirlers and many Of them fattened
their batting averages.
The Sox started in the second
inning and scored two. They fol-
lowed this up with another brace
OF runs in the third and another
followed in the fourth. One in the
sixth and three each In the sew

plenty with which to win.
The Collinsville team scored two
runs In the sixth and one In the
ninth, saving themselves from Il
shutout but suffering a trouncing
because the team couldn't solve the
delivery of the pitchers.
Berg suffered bad injury to his
ankle during the game in the sew
enth inning when he slid into sec
ond base. He was forced to retire
from the game and his mates are
anxiously awaiting the results Of
an X-ray today to find out the Sc
