Rule II. Y. B. Machine 0

Whacking away at the offerings of Terrence, New Britain Machine twirler, with will, the Stanley Rule & Level nine pounded out an II to 0 win over the Newmatics in the game played on Diamond No. ?. Terrence had little success in breez- ing the ball past the Rulers mur- derer's row and the result was 15 hits for the total of II runs.
 Casey, essaying the twirling duty for the Rulers, went through the game like a champion. Besides blanking the opposition in the run column, Casey famed 12 batsmen and walked only one. The Newml- tics found him for only four hits, none of them being longer than singles. The Newmatics got two men on in the fifth, runner on third and another on second and Casey famed the next three batters, In the sixth, the Newmatics again got two on and Casey famed two and threw the other out at first.
 On the offensive, the big bat Of Jack Argosy was very much in evi- dence. Facing Terrence five times, Jack banged out four hits, including "a home run and a double. His blngles rattled off the screen in cen- ter field with monotonous regularity. Zapatka was next in line with three out of five. a triple and a double being included in his days work. Ja- cobson also hit a home run into right field.
 The Rulers put up tight defense and played everything nicely. Za- patka was the only one to huff a ground ball and he recovered to get in on the next play.
 The Newmatics, with almost an entirely new team, played fairly we'll atield but Ferrence's weakness was putting them down the alley. The score:

People living as far west as Homestead avenue and as far north as Broad street could plainly hear the rooters at the game in Walnut Hill park last night. A tremendous crowd was on hand before the battle was over and everyone was using his voice to good advantage.
 Betting on the outcome of next Tuesday nights game has swung to Fafnirs to take the Buttmakers. This has been caused by the blow up of the team last night. The Stanley Workers( however, are known for their fighting spirit and they will do their best to come through.
 Landers still has a postponed game to play against the American Paper Goods. The date for this has not yet been set.
 If the Burritts and Holy Cross win their City league games tomor- row afternoon. then it will be up to the Pirates to decide whether the Holy Cross team will go into a tie for first place with the Burritts. The Pirates have a postponed game to play with the Holy Cross outfit and if the Holy Cross team wins tomorrow and then beats the Pi- rates, providing the Burritts win to- morrow, the Holy Cross will be tied for first place with the Burritts.
