The ball game on Saturday afternoon
last between the picked nine of the sur
rounding towns, with the addition of
Goodwin, Hoods and Williamson, and our
home team was the most interesting yet
Witnessed upon the home grounds this
season, but was witnessed by only small
crowd Giving them three of onr best
players the home nine were correspond
ingly weakened, as their places were
filed by substitutes. The result was not
apparent until the game was played out
and was won by the Skowhe@ans by a
score of 5 to 4. Owing to the lateness OF
the hour at which the game was started

that time? We feel sure the attendance
would increase could this matter be sue
ccssfully arranged.
