observe the day this year in fitting style.

The Cottonwood base ball nine met |
their Waterloo here last Sunday when
they crossed bats with team of "root- J
srs" picked up at random to "givs the |
boys game" The nine made their
appearance in neat suits and were a
yoodly lot to look upon. After some
lime the "rooters" got their men to-
gether with Johnnie Wilkes, of Grange
7ille, behind the bat, and Bill Uhling,
If Keuterville, in the box, and enough
nen to fill the other positions. The
,ame was called at 80 and then came
light and half of the most surprising
innings ever played in Cottonwood.
rhe ''rooters" led from start to finish
n spite OF the hard playing of the nine
md the terrible noise of the army of
who vainly tried to cheer
heir boys on to victory. The game was
allied off about 80, the score standing
5 to II in favor of the ''rooters", who
leclined to play their last inning. We
understand several changes are contem-
lated and when they are made the
ale will be different.
