By the way, we were in error in giving the score of ilie game betweeii Holman”: and M.C.A. as 7-0. It should have been 7-3. We were it hit doubtful about it at the time and meant to check. but Bill Allan, one of the originals in the Old Maritime Champs and now an umpire (from White House to Log Cabin) called us up and put us straight. If M.C.A. had scor- ed 8 runs, score would have re- verted to even innings, but as long as they were behind the score stands. A break, by the way, for Mathcson, Burke. and Devine, who each got hits in that last frame but not so good for Lewis and Jay who get one more time at but added to their totals.
