season. It was rather hard to;

game was lost. After getting
nine hits to six and playing prac-
tically errorless hall (the four
errors went for naught) to have
to lose a game three to two was
a bitter pill to swallow.
The trouble all happend in the
first inning. H. Lokey hit the
first ball pitched for a two bag-
ger, Holehak singled. Allen
doubled, B. Lokey singled and
two runs were scored. Allen was
caught off third, Barnes sacrific-
ed Lokey, Wood hit and Lokey
scored Runge’s third and last
score. Burke whiffed. But the
damage was done and the game,
as it was played, won.
In the second, due to poor
base running, Yorktown failed
to score on three hits. Runge
