II the Taconite game is anything like

the kind of excitement that usually
marks the Memorial high school and

clubs didn't display the polished play
ing that will be attained as the sea-

total of eight errors and donated
Cook three of its five runs, Ely
downed the league newcomer, Us, on
Cooks diamond last Sunday.
1t was an exciting ball game from

quality playing, keeping the specta-

nine hectic innings.
High point Of the thrills came in the
eighth when Manager Fritz Banks
stole home to tie the count at all.
First up to start the inning, Mama
ger Banks smacked out his second
double and his fourth hit of the
game. A sacrifice by Bill Langen sent
Banks to third and then John Glavan

ing an eagle eye on Pitcher Charlton
Of Cook, the speedy Banks sneaked
half way to the plate then streaked for
home before the surprised hurler could
get the ball OF the catcher.
