A GOOD SHOWING.
This city is proud of the showing
made by the newly organized Massillon

first day they played upon the street.
The band made fine appearance and
played well.

and was witnessed by a good sized
crowd. F. Miller and c. Miller was the |
battery for the Rolling mill and Shan
abrook and Sherbrook were in the
points for the Erie streets. At the end |
IF the sixth inning the score was 9 to 81
N favor of the Erie street, and things |
ooked rather blue for the Rolling mill. |
But the iron handlers took a brace in |
the seventh. quit rolling muck and |
turned out finished articles, which |
Won the day. Shanabrook was knocked |
'ut of the box. The Rolling mill boys |
banged the ball in all directions and
Kept the Eries falling over each other. |
