Yesterday was bad day for the
ball players of Atlantic, two teams
bearing the name of Atlantic going
down to defeat at the hands of rival
clubs out of the city. The Blues
went to Extra for game and when
they came back were unable to give
the score; the Extra boys beat them
80 badly that they forgot the num-
Der of scores made by their oppo-
nents. The Atlantic boys secured
three scores and when Extra boys
quit keeping tallies they had fifty
marked up to their credit. Though
playing better game a picked
team composed from The Greys
and Chicken Pickers were also de-
feated at Walnut; the Walnut boys
beating them in an evenly played
game by score of six to five. Both
games were witnessed by number
of people from this place who went
expecting to see the Atlantic boys
successful-Monday Atlantic Tele-
