The work of the Process club has
been erratic all season. Handicapped
at the start by the fact that most
of their players are shift workers
they have not been able to get the
same combination on the field twice.
They too have lost only three games
and have eight yet remaining on their
schedule. If Manager Paul, (Double
Strength) Alleman is able to get his
strength together and get any appre-
ciable number of better players on
the field at the same time, the Pro-
cess will yet prove to be something
or other in the chase for the cup.
Department League
Pickups
The Gauger club is hard to figure.
When they win they look like the
class of the circuit, but when they
lose—well, they don’t. On his last
few starts Wilson has turned in some
brilliant pitching performances; his
last one hit victory over the Mechan-
ics pulled the club up into a tie with
the Office for third place. The Gaug-
ers are still very much in the race
and it is certain that they will prove
a thorn in somebody’s side even tho
they don’t come through with the La-
con themselves.
The Mechanics, as the standing is
today, are the runners-up, but the
team piloted by Charlie Averyt is the
victim of extreme ill luck. At one fell
swoop they have been deprived of
their star battery, Lawless and Herr-
ing. Lawless has been transferred
to the Deedees and awaits only the

L. B. Corey sends in the following
take-off on golf parlance:
As the Twilight league enters the
home stretch the combination crew
styled PF & CC for want of a better
name, has pulled away from the field
1 and is settled perfectly comfortably
in first place. Not securely in first
place, but pretty comfortably. Lefty
Adams, easy going fork hander, who,
it is said, possesses nothing whatever
beyond a slightly Used glove and a
fervent prayer—this same Lefty
Adams has pitched the entry of Grif-
fin and Bayne into first place and
unless opposing nines take immediate
and definite measures to check it, it
is quite likely to stay there.
The greens on the local course are
in better shape now than they have
been for some time, according to
John Dobson. During the early sum-
mer and spring the greens were in
a rather rough condition and this
condition was reflected in the scores
turned in by the golfers.

In spite of the hot weather a good-
ly crowd of golfers continue to fre-
quent the course, especially on week
ends. The tournament committee is
now considering plans for some com-
petition which will no doubt bring
out the golf enthusiasts in still larg-
, er numbers.
