Union Loses, 4-3
In Tourney Game

Union Highs victory string was
brought to an end by a 4-3 score
Thursday by Orange Township,
Delaware County Champs, in the
Central District Tournament
game.
John, the winning pitcher from
Orange, famed IL Union batters
and walked one. AS usual the
Union batting order was not
silent. They gathered five hits;
three of them triples by Knedler,
Connolly, and Harbold, but could
not make them pay off.
Hayes piched for Union for the:
second consecutive day, which is
noticeable achievement. Even
under this handicap he struck out
II Orange Township men, walked
none, and held them ScoreleSs
after the first two innings. Five
costly errors by Union did not
help his cause any.
Orange got five of their eight
hits in the first two innings and
held a Al lead going into the
third. Unions run came in the
first when Knedler tripled and
came home on an error.
Union came back in the fifth
when Harbold tripled with Kned-
Ter and Hayes on base and made
it 4-3. John eaily disposed of
Union in the sixth and seventh
to protect his lead and take home
a victory.
