The Kendalls won the ^ ame to 0 and took top position In . ^Bhe softball league. , I It was an air tight game even ^ hough the Kendalls got to Horton or seven hits. The Grease Boys h ^ played good ball and practically pre- 1 ented the game to the Mill gang, h Both runs made by tho winners I < game as a result of wild throws by Catcher Traap of the Kelly gang. In the fifth lnnng llaynes singled and when he started to steal second Trapp threw t/ie ball far over the head of the ^second baseman into center field and Jakie came home standing up. In the sixth inning almost the same thing happened again. ' With two down Minis singled. When he attempted to steal, Trapp again cut loose with his long heave into d':ep center. Here Merrill messed up the rolling stone and Minis continued his gallop and scored. The only other threat by the Kendalls came in the fourth when Mims was nailed at the plate by a beautiful peg from Kelly to Trapp. Captain Alvin Keliy of the Crease Hoys was the only member of his team to reach third base during the pastime.
