If the Ho-telmen could have won last night, they would have been on even terms with the Native Sons, and a playoff would have been necessary to decide the winner, but now, they are out of it, and will have to see what can be done about the second half. It was a ragged game most of the time. Chenoski hurled a fine game for the winners, being touched for but two hits and striking out eight men. He was never in serious difficulties and with better support would have had a shut-out. Ray Commons, who turned the Sons of Canada back last Thursday, started for the Old Empress again last night but didn't last so well. He pitched one and one-third Innings and was touched for six hits and five runs while he was on the mound. Jack Nelson came to the rescue In the second after four men had scored and managed to retire the side without further, loss. He finished the game but allowed five hits while seven men scored against him. Bill Harold led the attack for the Antlered Herd with a double and two jingles In five attempts. Oeorge Mitchell and Chenoski each made two hits while Doug Stalker, in his first appearance this year, cracked each collected a two-base clout. The Box Score O. E. ABR H PO A E M.

Howe, however, had belonged to the Sons of Canada for the most of the half and is the only player who has been with that team to be In the I Big Six standing. It is a peculiar thing that while, the Sons of Canada led the teams In batting for the half, none of their players names I are found with the big stickers.
