Treasury Department has been re-
ceived from L. c. Mckay doing bust

There was a game of baseball in

1t was a grudge game between
Company No. l and Company No.

one bump on head of Joe johnson
as result of being hit by foul ball
because he would not wear a bird
cage when behind home plate
where he was catcher: and several

+ Say, did you ever report base
ball game where all of the players
were stars past, present and flu
ture, and they lived right in your
own home town? That's where the
line is drawn right now by the

game.
Yep, they all starred. even little
Gerry MCCARTHY, who nipped what
would have been home run from
the bat of Sturrock. Gerry had to
run about 10 feet. then the ball
dropped right into his nit. Pre-

When anyone protested, especially
Orme about ball or play, Got"
would turn his back. Players could
get positively no satisfaction once
the decision had been made.
Joe Johnston, who started the
idea of game, wants to thank
Cot for his duties and also the
public for attendance and the re-
ceipts are being placed to the credit
of the Chldren's Orthopedic Hos

has a good alibi for losing, but that
it's a military secret.
