COLTS WIN BALL GAME
IN AN EASY CANTER

The ball game between the Colté

and the C, C.’s last night was
disappointing, after the show
nade by the C, C.’s in the pre-
vious game. To the Colts, the
ball seemed to be as big as a
balloon so easy did they find it.
Dick Moore started pitching for
the O. G.’s but, in the fourth, re-
tired in favor of Fred Henning.
The change made no difference
to the Colts to whom everything
looked easy. The Colts ulitmate-
ly won by 44 to 4.
