Suggest Marks FIemen Defeat OF
Moss Point Rotary Club BY 1915 Score

An outstanding event of the
summer sports season was the
hotly contested softball game be-
tween the Firemen and the Rota-
rians at the Moss Point high
school athletic field on Tuesday
night, August 10.
The game played for the benefit
of the Firemen's Iron Lung"
fund brought the Firemen and the
Rotarians out full force and a
large crowd of spectators despite
the threatening weather.
Being a larger organization
the Firemen had a larger reserve
to draf from which gave them an
edge IN the Rotarians. But the
Rotarians had plenty of spirit
and fight.
The game started with true pro-
fessional style, three up and three
down with the Rotarians at bat.
The Firemen also failed to tally.
But in the second inning the
club men hit their stride with a
score of four runs. The Firenen
followed with a count of two.
BY the third inning both sides
started running in substitutes. The
Rotarians blanked but the Fire
men chalked up one.
Until the sixth inning the Ro-
tarians led by one run and then
the fire fighters broke loose. Ju-
Illus Redmond, the first man at
bat made the round for a score
and before the Rotarians could
get them out he scored again.
A hitting spree netted the Fire
men 10 talliles.
The Rotarians staged a come
back in the seventh to cor eight
