 Burritts II, Holy Cross 10
 The Bu-ritts and Holy Cross . teams put on the sort of battle i that would be expected from these i rivals. The batters on each team 1 had no respect for the opposing
 pitchers and hammered the ball to ! all corners Of the lot At the same time the fielding ot each team was both sensational and terrible. ! The uncertainty of the affair held
 the interest of the crowd from the first until the last inning. Untll the last batter was retired f was any { body's game
 The excitement started in the first
 half Of the opening frame when, after two were out, the Burritts put

 was gong 10 walk of with the game without having struggle Four runs were made by the Holy Cross in this frame although the team
 made but two hits.
 The confidence Of the Holy Cross
 fans was soon shattered, however. as the BurrItts made q quartet of
 runs in their half of the second to tie the score. As was the case in the first frame only two hits were made in this rally. The feature of this outburst was a home run by

 Burritts chased three base runners across the plate. These were the result Of passes 10 Stub Budnick
 and Zaleski. q double hy Luty and
 T three baseer by Wesoly.
 Tn the following frame the Bur
 ritts put on another foue run rally
 and were threatening 10 do moro
 damage when snappy double play
 by the Parish team halted them. In thIs session passes 10 kania and
 Gadomski were followed by singles
 hy Dalkowski and Zaleski and
 Stub Budnick's double.
 The Holy Cross team made q valiant effort 10 tie the count in it's ] half Of the inning but the best 1t could do was to score three times. The counters were manufactured by singles by Krystopa and Fitzpatrick and a double by klepacki. i To make certain Of their lead the
