City Park Saturday.

In seven inning game at Island
City park Saturday afternoon the Sun
rysIjes defeated the Shadysides with a
score of II to 9. II was more of a
three ring circus than a ball game. the
time being divided half and half be
tween playing baseball and playing
horse. Somebody made a raid on a
jockey clubhouse somewhere, which
ought TO be investigated. and secured a
bunch of jockey caps. which gave bril-
lance to the scene. The teams repre-
ssnted the respective sides of Second

innings were played there may be an
other game in the near future. playing
the full nine innings.
