VAN SKYOCK ALLOWS BUT FOUR HITS AND PITCHES TEAM TO VICTORY SUNDAY Although the Geneva Boosters appeared to be lambasting VanSkyock's offering all over the lot at Geneva Sunday only four of the batsmens, efforts down in the score book for lilts, which was hardly sufficient to win the game and Dunkirk won, 4 to 1.

It was the second time the Boosters had tasted from the cup of defeat this year, and seeing as how they did jja-rte the pill at times, only to have their efforts pulled down in the outfield for outs, they cannot help but feci that in a measure, they were vi< tims of hard luck. They could not place a hit when a hit meant a run. Both teams played rather loose in the infield, each committing four errors, and for each team, these errors were responsible for the scoring as much as the hits wire. The game was nobody's until in the ninth, when the score standing 2 to 1, Whitehurst singled and another Dunkirk man trippled and went on home when the peg to third went wild, both men scoring. The score by innings:— RHE Dunkirk. 0 10001002484 Boosters ....000100000144 Batteries: —Van Skyock and Glancy; Jackson and Briggs. Struck out bv Van Skyock 5, by Jackson 5. In a preliminary game of five innings the Decatur West Ends defeated the Geneva Sluggers 7 to 3 in a well played game. Next Sunday the Boosters will journey to Celina, Ohio, where they will try their luck against one of the best teams in Eastern Ohio, and if they are able to deficit that outfit, they will feel that they have really accomplished something worth while. *» -■ - B ~ ' 1 WEST END TEAM WINS FROM GENEVA SLUGGERS The Decatur West End baseball team defeated the Geneva Sluggers in a five inning game, preliminary to the Geneva Boosters-Dunkirk game, at Geneva Sunday afternoon, by a score of 7-3.
