The Florence high school nine
four batters and five fielders came
up here last Saturday and played a
game with the Crystal Falls high
school team at the old driving park.
The game resulted in a score of 10 TO
IL In favor OF Florence. There are
many mutterng Of unfair dealings up
on the part OF the Florence boys but
Of course these charges must be dis
counted some. The specific charge
made is that the scorer kept the weak
batters on te Florence team from
batting auo Ted up the heavy hit

grctted that any such tactics should
be resorted Go and II they were not
rcsorted to that any such charge
should be made It is nice to win but
il is better to have a friendly feeling

have learned lesson and that fair
ness will predominant ia ali games
