One of the most interesting games
OF base ball the writer has witnessed
for some time was played Tuesday
afternoon between Brayton and ,Au-
dubon, on the Brayton grounds. If
anyone thought Brayton could not
play the game they are now convinc-
ed they were mistaken. And, by the
way, the Audubon boys were not SO
slow and put up pretty fair article
OF the national game. But when you
take glance at the lineup of the
Brayton team you will not wonder at
the way the game was played or its
result. First, there was old Jack
Hinkle who played third base and
who has played ball for the past
we'll forty years at least, and he can
put up just about as good an article
now as he ever did. Then there was
"Spoony" Freeman and Horace Bart
lett who played ball in Brayton ever
since there has been town, in fact
before there was such a town as Bray
ton thong hit of, and they played their
positions like old professionals. DR..
hoob did the catching for Brayton,
and showed that he had not forgotten
the tricks of the game, which he
learned while playing with Anita
boys and over at Highland; and al
though he was unfortunate in having
his finger split in the fourth inning,
ne kept right on and did the receiv-
ing in professional style. And there
was the Pollock boys, Robert and
Henry, who have played some ball,
too. Henry was in the box, and, say,
he didn't do thing to those Audu-
bon boys but make them fan the air or
knock little hits to the infielders.
ne seemed to take special delight in
filling the bases with no outs, then re-
tire the side without score. Robt.
