The Tigers will meet Bishop next
Sunday at Bishop The Tigers eked
out a 5 to 4 victory over the Regu-
lars here a few weeks ago but no
doubt they wtl! have quite a bit of
trouble defeating them on their home
grounds.

A few changes were made in the
lineup last week. Shorty Nutt was
moved to Shorstop. Noel Brittain was
placed at third and Vic Sassman
went to right field The change was
necessitated by the absence of Bryan
Crumpton. Hally Crumpton, and G
Kline
—sSs—
Noel Brittain had a perfect day at
bat with a sacrifice hit. hit once, and
two singles. Incidentally it brings his
batting average for the two games he
has participated in to 666 The batt-
ing averages for the entire team w!U
not be published this week.

affair. Both Tom Cryer, Outlaw hurl-

were wild and not as effective as they
were when they engaged in a 2 to 1
game a tew weeks before The outlaws
hit hard when the hits were needed.
Every Outlaw hit at least once except
Jolly and Kline. Jolly, however, was
credited with three bases on bails.
