 Methodists Take One
 The Trinity Methodists squeezed two runs across the plate in the last inning and took the measure of the South Congregational church. 5-3. They got on to an early lead in the second inning on poor terrible mufta in the outfield and timely single which followed. Successive bingles by Barta. Darrow. and Walther got one of them back, but Carle's dou- ble paved the way for another tally in the third. In the last half of that inning Clifford Bell smacked a long drive between left and center ard converted it into a home run by fast running. Rockwell was safe on an error in the fifth and Bell came through again. this time with a looping double into right, tying the score.
 The Methodists had filled the | fore the last man bounded 10 Parker, and they threatened again in the sixth only to have Hattinga grab q pair of neat fouls. In the seventh, however. they broke through on two hits and an error and won the game.
