the Fraternal Soft Ball league when
the Phoenix lodge team nicked the
league leading Pythians to the tune
OF Is to II and the Tabs knocked
Oft the fast-traveling X of p. crew
by . to 10 score.
PhocniX-rythians
The Phoenix team is forming a
quandary for all opposition. One
night the team takes lacing by an
unheard of score and then it i'm
mediatcly gets its dander up and
Wallops everybody in sight. Although
it barely nosed out the drivers last
started two weeks ago.
The Pythians still retain their lead
in the league but few moro bumps
and somebody else is bound to stand
in their shoes
The Odd Fellows started RIGHT off
the reel last night to win. They
scored three in the first and four in
the seconds The Pythians driven to
desperation held a big pow WOW in
the second and nicked the register
Tor nine counters. This lead however
was swept away in the fourth when
tle PhoenlX team got three more.
Then in the sixth, the Pythians had
ANOTHER field day and got seven. The
DAD Fellows. odder than ever ac
cordlng to the Pythians, wouldn't
stay dead but like bad Indians, re-
turned to the fray and got three in
the sixth and three more in the
seventh. Then the Pythians got one
III the eighth, but the Odd Fellows
came right back to get two. The
Pythians couldn't score in the last
frame and the Phoenix team walked
away with a win. The score:
PNthlans ....... 090 007 010-17
Phoenix ..... $40 3o3 32x-1S
Tabs-Kaceys
The Irish staged battle all their
own in the second game played and
the Temperance boys came through
with flying colors to bag a win by
the score of Is to 10. 1t was a real
battle, one of those Greek meet
Greek affairs with the result in
doubt right up to the last minute.
The Tabs took an early lead in the
first by scoring three runs. The
kaceys were slow in starting scoring
only one. In the second the Tabs
added two while the kaceys We're
banked for the second. third and
fourth. In the fifth, each team
scored one. Neither counted in the
sixth but in the seventh the follow
ers of Columbus rallied to get three,
The Tabs came back in the eighth
and played quartet and added five
more in the ninth. The Kaceys were
idle in the eighth but they staged a
desperate rally in the last of the
plnth. Fortunately for the Tabs. this
uprising was nipped after five runs
were scored and the game was over
with victory safely tucked away. The
score:
Tabs ......... 800 010 O45-15
kaceys --......... 100 o10 305-1o
Batteries: Tabs, Polits and Grace:
kaceys, N. Begley and Restelli.

 Loftus and Smith of the Aggies starred with their fine shooting and each man held down the nonors for individual halves. smith sank six field goals in ths first half while Loftus was able t.. put one through the loop, but in the second half the situation was reversed, for Loftus ran up a to tai of II points on field goals while the best Smith could do was cage one from the field and one from the free throw line.
 Douglas seemingly did not have a chance to win. Those who had seen the Islanders play in previ- ous games expected to see them give the Collegians a hard tus- sle, but the latter outfit had prac- tically no trouble with the oppO- sition, scoring often, and being in possession of the ball major portion of the time.
 While the College made 62 at tempts from the field. F of whicn found their mark, Douglas had only 34 attempts chalked up. and of this number but four were made good. Few fouls were call ed, six on the Islanders and two on the visitors.
 Opening Quarter
