REGULARS START OUT VICTORIOUS.
Defeat The High School Team by a
Score of 9 TO II.

Yesterday witnessed the first ball
game of the season on our grounds,
the battle being between the Regulars
and our High School team (the kids
the game was a DANDY, Gin pigs
wrist.)
The children were the first to take
the field and let the red socks have
the chance at the bat, but they did
not do much. The Regulars then had
to 60 out and the wonderful twirler
Rieghtley went in the box, to scare
the little school boys to death, with
Hull behind the bat to stop the cork
screws but very few he mad chance
to stop whenever the man in the box
did put one over the base the kids
would land on it so hard that it would
jar his grandmother, it looked as
though they would never get the
three men out until at last the boys
took pity on them and got out.
The little Cyclone took the box the
next time they went out and tried to
show the kids where to get off at, but
they did very well in finding his
twisters and landing on them very
often. The game up to the sixth
inning was in favor of the kids, when
their little catcher got a little ratified
and made couple of bEunders which
let two or three runs in.
Garrison the kid pitcher did very
fine work while he got very poor
from the majority Of his mon
and if he had not the Regulars would
of went away badly beaten.
In the 9Th inning they changed
why it was done we cannot
tell but there will come time when
they will be sorry.
We understand that they are going
to play again in a few weeks and the
High School team will be changed
if they make any improv
ments it will keep the best Of the
scrub teams scratching to skin them,
There were some. very bad errors
made on both sides.
