Married   Men   Lo.se   to   Their   Single Rivals   13  to  8
Tho Men's Club of the M. E. Church of Freeport staged a novel baseball irame Saturday afternoon when the married men cros.sed bats with the single m^n, and the single men won 'i\ a score of 13 to 8.
The figures do not for a moment in¬ dicate the closeness of the game, for up to the.last moment the score was a tie. It was in the last inning that the married men heard the supper call issuing from their back doors, and rather than misp a meal, they went up ill the air and ended the agony, allow- iiitc the single men to get in five runs.
Frod Bedell pitched the last inninp for the Lonesome Nme and struck jut three of the Lucky Benedcit^, thereby ending their hopes for that day at least.
The same teams will play each oth¬ er asrain next Saturday afternoon a^ Park and Lexington avenues and if the married men bring their wives along there will be a' greater oppor¬ tunity for a victory.
The lineup of the two tearrjs was a.^ follows:
Lucky Benedicts—Fred Bedell, P. Danson, W. Stevenson, F. Richards, C. Hunt, ,]. .lenkins, R. Wilson, W, Combs, A. .Jones.
Lonesome Nine—IL Acherson, N. Post, J. Sutphin, H. Beebe, R. Au.s- tin, L. Rose, J, CK)llins, W, Rhodes, A Harwood,
The precarious position of umpire v.-as bravely assumed hv George Gray, E. B. Thompson keeping score.
