crowd out. owing to little or no notliica-
tion OF the contest, as il was understood
Friday that the teams were to play at

different. the Miles City boys finding the
bail at the right time and fielding in
National league style.

improved upon, Tommy Dwyers garden
was covered in perfect manner and he
I picked out two hits. Garvin, the local
/ twirler, was in good form, striking out ii
men. Joe Werrick and Charles Charlton
executed two double plays that elected
