Show First Ward Strengthened Their Lead As They Go Into Home Stretch of M Men League By Tom Hillman The Grove ward faction did their part in holding on to a second sec-ond place vote in the M Men loop in Wednesday's games by tromp-ing tromp-ing the Third ward with a score of 59 to 23 in the first round of the night. Harper took high point honors hon-ors of the game, the night and the series with a total of 26 counters coun-ters to his favor. The Manila people thought that if they could beat the First that they could beat the Second. They could and they did. Final score of the game was 38 to 31. During the first half of the game the Second warders held their own, but after that the Manila Men went to work and took the lead, which they never lost after the third quarter. In the third and final game of the evening the high and mighty First ward boosted their first place place percentage higher and proved themselver mightier. Although Al-though the slaughter was not as bad as some thought it might be it was a slaughter none the less. Final score was First 36, Lindon ward 14. LEAGUE STANDINGS Team Won Lost Pet.
