The game was domin- ated by the pitchers, George and Bill Cunningham for the winners and Powers for the Temcos.

The most miraculous of these was made with on hand while Downham was stretched far out over the hood of a spectator's automobile. The crowd was the largest of the scason. In the second inning Stanley Smith singled and stole second, scoring on Downham's two bagger. Tolli went out and Downham was caught at the plate on LaBonne's grounder. In their half the Temcos cameback and took a 2-1 lead when George Cun- ningham developed a wild streak. He walked Babich and Howard Smith and then Mickey Levine drop- ped G. Miller's fly, allowing the runners to score. Powers also walk- ed and stole, but G. Miller was The Temcos got two more in tic third on Cassidy’s double, a hit by ‘Wadsworth, Derby's rap. Downham then made one of his great catches, Stanley Smith made a pretty running stab, and Cunningham fanned the' final batter. In the fourth the Business- men fought back to a 4-3 score. Le- vine hit safely and with one gone Downham reached first on an un- | successful attempt to catch Levine.
