This award for good sportsmanship accorded representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by members of other churches in Palmyra is significant, for this village in Western New York is widely celebrated as the "Birthplace of Mormonism,? yet during the early days of the church, Palmyrians generally looked with disfavor upon the organization which has since been called "the American church."

Tie Score In the third, however, the City Recreation hit their pace, began hitting and drew abreast of Jaek's. Otto had been replaced by Wes Malmberg, and the Cafe batters didn't look so good. At this point, Dan LeRov took over chucking duties for Jack's, and the score was tied in the fifth. Through the slugging of Eliason, Frank. LeRoy and Elky Allred, who got a homer with two men on, the Cafemen got six runs in the last inning, as against one for Recreation.
