There was a lot of heavy hitting in the game and the score was 14-8 ' for the Essa team. Herman Jennett, the Ivy twirler, had a big day, both on the mound and at bat. `He fan- ned 18 batters and collected five hits, one of them a triple. McMann and Dunn did the pitching for Allis- ton and neither `was effective. Black of Alliston, playing his first game this season, had a double and a tri- ple and three members of the Jen- nett clan, Bert, Lyall and Herman, each hit a -three-bugger.
