The Men's and Boy's bowling team and the Firemen were the participants but somehow Women s Lib. took over in the second inning. There were stolen bases (they were just nowhere in sight) guys trying for a homer riding horses, left and right batters together on the plate swinging at the same hall and at times as many as three nitchers on the mound. Unbelievable as it seems, just. about every rule in the book was broken and the um pires, one for each team, did a terrific job at being fair. Ha Ha. No one seems to know the final score on account of all the shenanigans but everyone enjoyed themselves in spite of the heat. After the game, players and their families were invited to Alr. and Mrs. Ivor Williams' home for a few rounds of horsehoes, and a icnic sup- per, pot luck style. A nice close to a fun afternoon.
