the baseball lovers in Ashcville the most

members of the team did not kick much
at what might have been considered a
proper time, but broke out when Ashy-
vile would get an advantage, making
the childishness all the more apparent.

the game with the determination Of
winning by bluff if they could via no
other way. Kicks were made on the
slightest pretcxts and the program soon
became evident.
