deceived. Mike, being a court en-
ploye and all that knows his
ground and counters by equal in

enough for the Federation, is old
enough for an Old Timer.
THE LAST WORD
The same Lee had a bit of a
discussion with Umpire Bill Byron
in which each spoke their minds.
Byron's words were the more
convincing.
Manager Elmer Kahl of the
Tigers lamented that all afternoon
not f1yball came his way Elmer
chased his legs off after line
drives. grounders that bounced
wrong, and flies too far over the
cap for any outfielder to play.
Elmer's tune was also 10 the
effect the Old Timers used a
ringer in Lee and justice should
be done promptly.

Cornelius Lane, who will be rs

the Tigers. His fellow players
presented him with suitably

BY coincidence the game fell on
the SD birthday of Matt Nollen-

five-run first. led l1-3. going into
