show. That little dampness you put

Our county is big enough and of such

Lexington Elks Won.

In the fourth of the series of gam
es between the teams representing
the Lexington and Richmond Elks,
played on the Richmond grounds
Tuesday afternoon, the river boys
came out victorious and now the
series is divided and the rubber"
will beplayed at Lexington soon.
The Lexington team, remembering
the last two games, in both of which
they we're defeated, came prepared
to win. They had strengthened their
team with new twirler, and he had
the home team guessing during the
entire game. Itwas the best game
that has been played on the home for
a long time and until the last man
was out it was an even break as tC
which would win. Davis was again or
the slab for Richmond, and while
they secured 10 hits off his delivery
he kept them scattered and had be
been given the best support it woult
have been a closer game. Brockman
the Concordia twirler, is one of tn,
best seen in Richmond this season.
The score:-

a series of five. Lexington winning the
first and fourth. Richmond the
second and third. The fifth and de-
Gliding game will be played in Lexing-
ton in the near furure. Let every
member of 749 be present at the last
and deciding game. Bear in mind,
too brethren, the teachings of our
order, even when the sheriff knocks a
three bagger.
