We are really having some fine
ball games in all three leagues.
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.
