OF the third game with Alva this year.
Up TO the elevnth inning the goose-egg
ceremonies were in full force and every
body had settled themselves TO stay till
dark when the unexpected two-bagger
by Belden. followed by the nice little
single by Burton, put different aspect
on the game. The Alva boys could not
overcome the lead gained by the one run
and the last of the eleventh inning saw
the goose egg carried out by Alya.
Pretty playing all through the game
was the feature OF the day. Luck got
in her good work and plenty, too. In one
case the ball rolled through the only hole
ir the fence. BY fast work Thompkins
skinned over the fence and by d well
judged throw from behind the fence
caught Springer at home. McCuily made
a pretty catch Of fly foul in the left
field. He ran from his position, beating
the basemsn and the left fielder TO the
fly and made good catch.

third out Forester landed on Ander-

block ball and then made third on
wild throw and died there. Everything

the right amount and he made the only
score in the game.
Anderson. for the Paramount boys,

hits were made off his delivery and these
were scattered through the entire game.
He allowed one man 10 walk, but the
