on the Rexford home pitcher, and he
walked I'VE.
On Sunday the Rexford team lined

ing the interim from Saturdays game
20 sundays, they dug up Harry Nc
IvOrs a pitcher OF considerable ability,
and said to come from the Iowa State

themselves together and played a very
interesting game, resulting in a score
Of 4 to 3, their favor.
It was one OF the pretdest contest

Tuesday the Athletics visited Ober-

a score Of II to To- There was no
