ball Tuesday afternoon and Oska-
loosa went down to a hard defeat.
The score was 5 to in favor of the
visitors. The game was played at
the fair grounds in place of the stand
pipe grounds. 1t was requested that
the location of the game be changed
from the stand pipe on account of
sickness in that neighborhood and

the game.
The game was a good warm exhib-

was a second game played at the
same place and by the same clubs
this afternoon on account of the
postponed game from Monday and
there was very large crowd in at
