Lydia is on top in the Small Fry League, Lions Club in Little Boys League and Joanna in Pony League Lydia Small Fry won a close 2-1 victory over Joanna. Academy Pony defeated Joanna and Flori da Street Ponies in two very ex citing ball games during the past week. The best ball game in the, last four or five years was played last week between the Moose ClUb and Lions Club. This game was tied up in the bottom half of the last inning, score 2-2, and continued for five exlra innings to make the game last for eleven LB Siandino* innings before Jimmie Sloan, Lions Club Lipn pitcher who relieved Scoot- Kiwank riuh er Holcombe after seven innings, drove one into the scoreboard with one man on base. The lit tle Moose boys put up a terrific fight before losing. This club, Moose, like the Kiwanis club, has only one or two twelve-year- olds on the squad, so look out next year for these two clubs. The longest ball game ever played at the Little Boys park was between Academy St. and Thornwgll which lasted twelve innings and was won by. Academy 1 St. 2-0. Some time in v the near future our Little Boys will be coming around to sell you a ticket which will only cost one dollar. This ticket will admit you to all of the district games. Fourteen in all. The expenses of this tournament will run around two hundred and fifty dollars. So when a little boy asks you to buy a ticket don’t turn him down.
