mics, the Cats, and anxious to draw
first blood in what promised to be
five bitterly fought games between
the two clubs his week. 1t was q
foregone conclusion that Payne
would draw the assignment for the

hopefuls to five hits. licked them
by a 5-to-2, and ran his total vic

BY trimming the Cats at the out

sumed two days hence. the Spuds
not only increased their margin to
