Baseball Team

near first base, which robbed a Bleacheryite of a hit.
The game was otherwise slow and not of the spectacular variety due to the extreme heat. However, the fans were given their money's worth as only one error was committed. This error occurred when Taylor dropped the ball at first base.
The regular umpire scheduled for the game failed to appear. This situation was taken care of by Ralph Robinson, of Renfrew, and Marion Dudley, of Slater, who turned in one of the beast exhibitions of umpireing seen in the league this year.
The next scheduled game finds Slater at Judson this coming Saturday.
The box score for the game with Renfrew follows:
