NORTH STAR LOSES
B. B. GAME TO BREMEN

The North Star baseball team, in
its practice of taking on all corners,
journeyed to Bremen township Sunday
and was defeated by that team 10 to
&. The Bremen boys took the lead
at the start and were never in danger
of losing the game. Errors by the
North Star players were given as the
cause for several of the western ag-
gregation's scores, although timely
hitting aided them in crossing the
plate so many times. The North Star
batters hit Ken Ellison rather freely
but good support by his team mates
held the visitors in check. Cliff Deg
erstrom for North Star, and Bill Arth
for Bremen, hit for three bases during
the game to cop long hit honors.
