n Cakes and LaMoure crossed bats at
Verona last Sunday. Although our boys
were beaten bya scoreof5 s to 9. they
played good game. The Oakes bat
terry of Hunter and Bush played as fast
ball as you will see anywhere. Battle
at the first bag did marvellous work and
the reason our boys were beaten was
because the opposing team was much
heavier.
Our boys were at disadvantage
from lack of team practice but they
can. without much effort in that direc-
tion, put up good game. There was
a goodly number Of Cakes people at
Verona and all report a very nice clean
game and very courteous treatment
from the people Of Verona.
