club could only arrange for just such
games as was played with the Roachdales

an the club would be at premium. II
was one OF the best games ever seen on
these grounds. for every player appeared
rs II he was out TO win and. while the
contest was not without a number OF err
rors. the earnestness or the players more
than made up for this. The game was
full OF ginger and 20 was the $500 or
more spectators.
The visitors were fast at the bat and
made their runs and at this time the
rooters for the home team began TO sag
things that didn't sound real nice. but
the visitors got all that was allowed
them in the first inning.
The home team got one run In the first.
one in the sixth and one In the eighth
each The real excitement was in the last
inning az the score was three each and
the visitors were down and out. Then the
home team went TO bat they succeeded by
nard work TO get in a much needed run.
