The heavies won two and lost two. · The lights WO!! one and lost three. The peewees won two and lost two. The heavies' and lights' schedule was as follows: Fir~t game-Haven at Wilmette. Second game-Nichols at Nichols. . Third game-Haven at Haven. Fourth P"ame-Nichols at Wilmette. The ·heayi\veight team played some interesting games. The first was the most exciting-. Haven was le,llding WilmettP 10 to 16 at the end of t}le sixth but had bf'en lending 15 to 5 in the fifth, so Wilmette hardly thought of victory. Then HaYen got anotJu:r run in the first part of the seYenth, J!!.:'lking the score 17 to 10. The rest of the game was like a story. Wilmette comes up and gets two on bases and !hen one of the fielders comes up and drives a fly to left field. The fielder overjudges the ball and missed it. The two men on bases came home and the runner goes to· third. The next two batters get on base bringing the man 011 third home, making the score 13 tp 17. The next batter fills the bases and Wilmette's third ba~eman was up; on the first ball pitched he knocked a home run, tyein,g the score. The next two batters struck out and the next runner who had singled came home on a double by the catcher', winning the game for Wilmette by a S<'Ore of 18 to 17.
