in time to win the play-of series for
Calvary, giving it the championship of
the Georgetown Church League
-. Harold Hodges and Judy Forrest, OPP
posing pitchers, hooked up in a real
battle--an innovation in the Church
League. But though Hodges had the
better of it in the matter of hits al
lowed, Berger came through with two
of the five Calvary bingles and drove
over three runs to win the game, 4 to l.
The first of Bozie's wallops was a
home run in the second inning, which
scored HARDWOOD, who had walked.
Then, to make sure, he singled Pete
Ball across in the final frame.
With the Georgetown Church League
crown settled, only the Government
