There was kind ola game of

2ot06. This team better take night
lessons from some ten-year-0ld kid
or save their bats to knock down
cotton stalks with next winter.
We are going TO take up a $ubscrip-
tiOn to raise Il sum to be offered as
= reward for the capture with evil
denc@ to convict any team guilty Of
being beaten by the Lake City nire.
