Shamrocks Lose
Sunday Game
By 19-4 Count
>
The Shamrocks won one soft
bail game and lost another in
last week’s play. They repeated
earlier season victories with a
6-5 win over Jonesville on Thurs
day, but lost to the 175th Signal
Service by 15 runs on Sunday.
The final score in that game
^vas Army 19—Shamrocks 4.
Player-manager Daryl Meeks
said his men, some of whom
failed to report for the Sunday
game, “got off to a bad start
and never did catch up.” The
Army had everything its own
way on Sunday, for the Butte
squad failed to keep its engage
ment for the planned last half
of the doubleheader.
' The pitching job for the Sham
rocks was divided between Guy
Warnica and Dr. R. E. Garrett.
