NINTH BLOCK — PLASTERERS

The first practice game of any account took place on Wednesday, between the Plasterers and Ninth Bloek.

“Tony’’ was tried out as a pitcher, and with proper support would have: held the Ninth to a closer score. “‘Longie’’ was in the box for the Ninth, and was in mid-season form. The comparative strength of the clubs should not be judged by Wednesday’s game, as it was the first time the Plasterers have played together as a team. A few more games, and with their pitchers working in regular order, the Ninth, Library or any other team will not find it so easy.

The only run scored by the Plasterers was a wild throw to catch ‘‘Dave’’ off second ; ‘‘Dave’’ crossing the plate on

the throw home. Score Ninth Block 7 Plasterers 1.
