The Cokes went down before a mediocre aggregation from Palestine, 5 to 0, in falling out in the first round.Pitching for P-alestine was Joe Shaver, who is billed to work for Ennis All-Stars tonight in theirgame with Coker Grocery of Wichita Falls. Fleming's hurier was no other than Curley Hays who although chunking creditable ball, lost with a wobbly defen.se behind him.The Flemings haven't won this Chicago trip by a long shot yet, but boy, oh boy, they've advanced a heckuva wav towardItTotal.'
