The Elks, despite the tremendous score piled up against them, were In the game all the way and had an even break on most of the play around centre.

On the home, the Brother Bills' efforts proved fruitless, for Howard Crandall was picking them out of the air and up off the ground as one born to the trade.

The runner on first waa of the opinion that the ball would be caught. He played It safe by merely rolng half way to second, thus preventing a possible double play If the ball was snared.

Nlles was positive the ball would'nt be caught. He tore around the bases at full speed and passed the runner originally on first, midway between first and second. That act of course automatically retired Nlles, yet he continued on his way to the plate and by a great slide beat the return throw. He believed he had made a home run, yet In reality It waa only a single. Recently in a game at Philadelphia, ToDoreer of the St.
