Lions Defeat Rotarians 15 to 3
In Seven-Inning Game Thursday
Sweetwat Lions today had all the inward glow that comer, from
vindication.
After arguing for two weeks they had a hotter ball team than the
Rotary Club, the Lions finally proved It, temporarily at least, by win-
ning the cecoml of their series, 8 to 3, at the Gait Refinery diamond
Thursday. Rotarians won the first game, 19 to 13. two weeks ago.
A four run ralyl in tbs fifth inning cinched the game- after WhatMy’s
nome run in the third with ono on--■-
had tied tho count. Only one Lion
failed lo bat in the fifth inning ral-
ly.
, Rotarianrs counted two of their
■ur.s in .the first inning when Roso-
brougli singled to center with the
ery team, and previously won a
double header from teams re-
presenting the gypsum plant
.and Whit- Flat. They are sche-
duled to play the Gulf again
this afternoon.
An independent team known
as the South Siders, with an
already imposing string of vic-
tories, advised The Reporter
that a challenge would be made
to the club winning Thursday
afternoon's game.
The team earlier in the
week defeated the Gulf Refin-

two of the runs after reaching first

Thursday afternoon’s game
was "no game” according to
protests of Rotarians who point
out that after the Lions had ap-
pealed to the Stelsa Club for
sympathy and assistance, and
none was forthcoming, the
jungle beasts started recruit-
ing—playing two men whose
applications have not gone
through the proper channel to
make them members of the
club. Parks, who pitched the
Lions to a victory, and Dr. P’-

cruited a few days before the
