The Graham baseball team met
with defeat at Bristol Friday when
they crossed bats with the Emory
and Henry College team. The score
was to o, and the game was excit-
ing from start to finish. Graham
made an excellent effort to capture
the game considering it was the first
game they had played this season
and their opponents had had con-
siderable more practice. Better re-
potts are expected in the REMAINING
games to be played on the trim as
the Graham nine greatly beuefitted
by the game Friday. Until the ninth
