Late Saturday evening word came
over the phone from Montesano that
owing to rain, their club had decided
to again postpone their visit here,
much to the regret of Shelton club and
people. The next time they arrange
to come, we believe they will come, re-
CARELESS of the elements. In lieu of
the expected game the Shelton club
played a game with Chas. Armstrong;
"scrub nine," and defeated them by a
score of 20 to 6. Every inning was a
"shut-out" except when careless play
ing in the fifth allowed the second
nine six scores. The game was inter
esting enough and afforded some
practice.
