Superior pitcher J. B. Collins twirled excellent ball for the locals, holding the league leading Parkers to 5 hits. The game was actually a pitcher’s battle ’ with Highland Park pitcher J. W. Rich facing Collins. Last Monday night the Parkers boosted their spirits with a 3-1 win over Cramerion’s Eagles who stand third place in the league.
