stone Farm where she loved to
live and meet her friends

in a creditable manner. He struck
out eight and passed but one man.
Apolonio went into the box for Ros-
well, and pitched the first three in
nings like Lacquer, only nine men
facing him. But in the fourth he let
down a little, and with two hits, two
errors. a stolen base and a base on
balls. two runs were made. and in the
fifth Big Jim went into the box. By
a similar combination two more runs
were made off of Big Jim, and one
each in the seventh and ninth in
nings, all through the assistance of
errors.
Capt. Leland was the first man up
for the town team in the first, and
he knocked out a home run. There
was nothing more doing for the Ros-
well team until the fifth, when base
on balls was followed by a sacrifice
hit and two hits, bringing in two
more scores. Again and again they
had men on bases, but could not get
them around,
The cadets played clean game,
