Fruit Farm At Ravinia A baseball game was played at Ravinia playground last Friday eveâ€" ning between two men‘s teams, one led by Dick Hammond, the other by Harvey Olson. This was a closely fought affair, the score finally standâ€" ing at 14â€"12 in favor of Olson‘s boys, after battling out a 12â€"12 tie in 10 innings.

There, were very few long hits, and most of the runs were scored on errors. The score was close all the way through the game. At the end of the first half of the ninth inning Ravinia was ahead, 16â€"15. Sunset came to bat in the last half of the ninth with fire in its eyes and vengeance in its heart, and the first two men proceeded to go out. Then the fireworks began. Gunckel doubled to center, and Andy Petros, the hardâ€" hitting third sacker, took the first ball for a ride to the left field "junâ€" gle," far beyond third base. He rode the four bases with Gunckel ahead of him, and scampered across the plate to the shout and huzzahs of his teammates. It was a great game and a great victory. j Baseball The Sunset playground baseball team took a close fought victory from the Ravinia team last Wednesday, July 23, with a score of 17â€"16.
