"Sister Battery" Remarkably Remark-ably Effective; Girls Hit Hard and Field Well. 0N.E of the strongest girls' indoor baseball clubs in the city is tbe Junior East Side high school aggregation. ag-gregation. The East tridcra won tbe consolation prize in the grrade school baseball league, and the feminine ball tossers are quite positive that if they had been supplied with a ball and bat at tho siart of the season they would have won tho championship. The opinion is based on the decisive trimming administered to the Monroe school girls by the East Side players. The Monroe club won the championship of the schools and was presented with a trophy, while the East Side players were given a banner in recognition of their skill. The Monroe girls thought it an easy matter to beat the .iunior Leopardesses, aud therefore challenged them to a game. The Monroe girls even were so confident that they could win that they consented to play the game in tbe East-Side East-Side gymnasium. Tbe f3at Side Rirls sprang a huge surprise ou their opponents, oppon-ents, "and swamped tbe Monroe club. This clever victory gave the East Side supporters a good chance to ''crow," and they are taking full advantage, of Iri everv game played tho East Side i won, but "several causes were forfeited ! owing to lack of paraphernalia.
