The result was that the Guards took five swats, three of them for double portions. These blows mixed with the walks resulted in the Guards getting Buch a commanding lead. 111b "Guzzy" Jenkins went on the turret for the Sox after that disastrous second round und held the Guards safe under his masterful hurling and with the brilljant support accorded him. Only two hits were made from his delivery and only one batter reached second base. i ' Russell went buck to his old Job on the firing line for the Guards and while nicked for ten blows, one of which was u homer by Jenkins and another a double by the same chap, he kept the hits well scatlerea. worn? ,0lJa,!d8 8ot by the ftrsJL, inning without being scored on but ^n the second, Jenkins' double paved the way wL.f ??" aH the b,K fwMow 8^?d 7??th b,lllp8?n aingled.

What I roally galled us wmb the fact that the tea mthat beat ua was one of thoue I Just-orgunizod groups, gathered together Just fortournament entry! padding. But when the chap who launched that team went out to do it he ac-1 tually meant business and I really felt I at home wheu 1 saw such faces as Jordan, Simpson, Bonds and others who had appeared in the uniform of the Columbia American legion team only a few abort weeks ago. And back of the bat was Deke Koosa, the gentleman who was manager and coach I of that same American Legion team, now holding down the Job as umpire. But Leke was not bad at all, although he missed five or six that resulted in wulks for his old pals. I Khanie was not in the best of form, being wild, which may q'f courso have been the optical illusions of- Mr. Koosa and not the fault of Mr. Rhame. Ihe Columbia youths, for youths they were, drew but five hits off Rhame but two of them were the flukiest kind of homers, but homers Just the same and well?you know they pay off on the runs that come over the pan. About two hundred Camden fans accompanied the boys to Twin Lakes and really took, top honors for attendance. The other teams carried scarcely any fans with them. Camden looked mighty good for five innings and it seemed certain the boys were headed for H win. In the second inning. singles by Meyers and West and a double by Bruce gave the Aces two ruiiB and those two markers looked as big as mountains to those Columbia boys. But the big tragedy took place -in the sixth. Jordan drew four wide ones to get a free ticket. Dupree . hoisted a skier to Myers and was out. Sapp lofted a dinky fly to Reeves. Then Rhame walked Griffon.* Kliber drove a vicious liner to left. Bruce came in on it fast, Just missed it and then the ball took a crazy bound and Blithered on into the outfield. Meyers had not come over to back up Bruce, else only one run would have scored! [But before Bruce had returned the ball to the infield Kliber had circled the bases and pushed two runs in ahead of him. The Jittery Camden team was greeted with another smash into center when Canty came to bat The ball went past the outfielder and (Canty ran around the bases for a I homer. Columbia threatened again in the seventh when with one down Bonds tripled but died at third when Graybill lifted to Babln at first and Jordan rolled to West and was out at first. Our gang came near to tying' the score in the last of the sixth. After Rhame had gone down on a roller to third, Mays, batting for Reeves slashed a double to right. William'B single scored him, but Williams was too ambitious and tried to go to second and was out on a relay from right to pitcher to the shortstop. Jenkins popped out to the pitcher. That is my story and I'll stand by It. Man Flogged For "Lying" New brleamL,/Ug. 9.?Oscar Kay, victim of a 17-year-old girl who said she whipped h|m because he was spreading "lies" about her.
