IL to 10 in favor of the single men.
The married men lost the game by
attempting too many fancy plays. II
Lewistown needs any pointers on the
national game they can receive the
same by applying to any member of
the team. J. Mengelkoch and Ed.
Rule made one score each in the last
half of the 9th inning. With a little
practice they can make a race for
the championship pennant of Fergus
county interesting. After the ball
game came the foot aces. Leonard
Biglin won the boys race, Iva Barry
the girls and T. J. Wells the mems.
The single men were again success
full against the married men in the
tug of war. Three horses were en-
tered for the horse race; T.. Mungal

ure enjoyed and numbers present.
