Considered to be a serious threat
to the championship aspirations Of
the Studebaker team, the Shirer
Drug outfit proved to be only a
bubble which the carmen burst last
night when they trounced the pill

The druggists apparently muffed
the game by holding "Old George"
on the bench too long. "Old George"
is George Fleming, always effective
against the leaders. He took the
mound in the fourth inning with
the score 10 to against him and
for the next five innings yielded
only one run and two hits.
Lee. in addition to getting sim
gle and a double, made the only
run off Fleming when he hit a
home run in the sixth. Williams

the druggists hits.
