ORDWAY RIFLES BARELY
ESCAPE A WHITEWASHING

Last nights indoor baseball game at
the Young Mems Christian Association
gymnasium between the home team and
the Ordway Rifles nine was as complete
a frost" as has been seen in this sec
ton for q moon OF two. The associa-
ton lads had a walkaway and easily ran
up a score OF - 10 >. Owing TO the
late arrival of the soldiers the game
was not begun until almost 10 O'Clock,
and only five innings we're played.
BieIaski did good twirIiDg for the
victors. and allowed but one solitary
hit, which was secured by Dallas Sut-
ton. The Ordways did not score until
the final inning, when little loose
playing on the part of the home team
allowed them TO get TWO men over the
rubber Lorenzo and Barker did the
best playing for the losers. The fea-
tuTe Of the game was Greene's batting.
