STAGED AT In one of the most interesting baseball between loca! games Was a feature of Sunday after- ‘soon on the army barracks dia- mond, when the Liberty team de- feated a crack Marine liné-ip in # 12-0 contest. Toney Head, the Liberty twirler, held the hard-hitting Marines to three bingles. He was never in danger. His slow curves and fast Straights mystified the Marines, and he pitched shut-out ball from beginning to end, leaving the Marines scoreless at the end of the session. — 5 Billicki, the Marine short stop, had a wonderful day on the field, He had seven chances and accept- ed six. These two outfits will cross bats again next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock on the same grounds, and the managers say’ that. all. who wish to avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing a real ball @ame should certainly attend. k i t ‘QUARTERS, May 17.—For ithe % ‘first time since the after-the-war teams ever witnessed in the city |year the National league is “see- ‘ABY COHEN 1S ‘RUSHING ‘NORTH FROM WACO #0) STEM TIDE FOR JOMN ic- GRAW .
