Championship, but when had cleared and the
last runner had been retired the statistics found

header's first game, but back strongly in the
nightcap to win 81 to make third and deciding
tussle necessary. This will be played next Sunday

CARR BROS. BOSWELL 5: REPS
For two innings the Reps seemed to have the Sit
uation we'll in hand. Barker the mound hurl-
ing no-hit ball, and Beale's homer in the first
combined with Curtis in the second, set the stage
for what seemed to be another Greenbe1t win, but it
bat too enthusiastically in preparation for his
turn at bat, accidentally conked Barker the TEN
pie with it, broke his glasses, stunned him
tarily and just about killed the spirit of the To-
Gals. From then the game degenerated into
shambles, with three walks and two hits, one no
mer by NcLaren, scoring five in the fourth and
fifth innings for the visitors, while the Reps
tered two weak hits as their attack during the last
five stanzass
REPS 9: CARR BROS. BOSWELL
In direct contrast to the days opener, the
nightcap started out for the Reps. Trmble did
the hurting in this one, and in the very first in
ming he suffered twisted ankle fielding bunt by
L. Frey. He continued tn mound, but at the end
of the first the opposition had scored twice one
hit, two errors, walk, and sacrifice. In the
home fourth East was walked and advanced by Beales

the rst local run, and Barker, following him.
walked. Ray Taylor then connected for the first of
his three doubles of the day score Ben wi tn the
tying run, but Bauer and Tr,mble flied out to end
hostilities. They again in the fifth with two
nearned runs, and in the sixth walks, errors, and
doubles by Taylor and Bauer allied four more. In
the Carr Bros. fifth, McLaren again poled
deep Left field for his second home Of the day,
but that served as the Last scoring attempt of the
visitors as Trrmble limited them to five hits.

need plenty of vocal support in that town offset
the local brand of Bronx cheering.
Hats off to Ben Goldfadden. In Sundays game the
Carr Bros. first baseman fit to shove him
bit in close play, but with calm and poise Gold
fadden ignored him. Half the team arrived to do
battle in split second, and if it had been anyone
of a dozen other lads the Reps there would have
been free-for-al1. It takes CUTS to avoid
