Business Men Go to Head
of Class Alongside All
Stars by Lopsided Win

Tallying in every inning, the
Rockets last evening climbed up
alongside the All-Stars in first place
among Juneaus softballers, over
whelming the Federals, Is to IL.
Adding pune to the Rocket attack
were Tom Morgan and Stan Grum-
NETT, a practically professional pair.
After an equal first inning, during
which both teams counted four runs,
the Rockets spurred to the front
and were never overhauled. The
Rockets two biggest innings were
the third and fifth, in which they
put across seven and eight runs
respectively.
After being BANKED in the third,
fourth and fifth, the Federals made
a stab at a comeback in the sixth,
but fell far short, adding only four
more runs to their total.
