It was an all-Miller c&st in the pitching department, "Sonny" 'going the distance for his team while Vern and - Connie divided ? time' for the Miller's Corner team.

Dempsey "recently toured the West to capacity houses, and finds that wrestling keeps him spirited and young. He's now 68, looking hale and hearty. Many old friends are in this area, whom Dempsey will enjoy meeting again. He's looking forward to the exciting show Promoter Fred Kohler has planned for Friday night. An Australian +r- -i--i Richmond had fun aiming fothe corn field, but the Shamrocks got the most runs.

The see-saw got under way when the Shamrocks picked up their bats in the fourth. Harry Stilling walked. Nclan got a hit. "Guv" sacrificed. The bases were loaded when Bill Bolger drew the first of his three bases on balls. John Bolger doubled close to the right field line for two runs. The fifth inning is a bit lengthy to report in detail, but the Shamrocks got five runs on four hits. The "Micks" batted around in , this inning, Connie Miller coming in to get the third out. ... This Doe* It Four more runs for McHtenry in the seventh were too much for Richmond to overcome although they scored in every inning the rest of the way nit, "Sonny" Miller drove a home run over the fence in right center in the eighth for the winner's last run and Connie matched it in the same inning, aiming his drive to left. Richmond stirred up some excitement in the last of the ninth with four hits but only two runs resulted as Harry Stilling hauled in two fly balls and "Sonny" tossed out Ray MiHe:\ pinchhitting for his son, Bob, to end the game. The Woodstock Moose baseball team visited Johnsburg last Sunday and won a 9 to 5 game from the Tigers. Don Peacock hurled for the Moose and waa a real dandy on the mound. One hit, a single by Charlie Hiller, kept Peacock from a no-hitter. He walked five and hit two batters. This, with a couple of errors, aided the Tigers in scoring five tuna. Klapperich started for Johnsburg, but couldn't get anybody out. Five hits and five runs were enough to bring in Harold Schmitt, who pitched good ball all the way. With a deceptive motion, Harold aided his own cause by picking off three- Woodstock base runners. Next Sunday the Tigers travel to Algonquin to meet the league leaders.
