The base ball game Sunday betwee
Great Bend and the Wichita White
! sox was a comparatively one-sided
affair, and was won by the Bend by
a score of 6 to 0. 1t was evident the
Wichita team was outclassed RI had
a bad run of luck. This makes for
our team five games won out OF seve
played, good average for any team
We understand the team is lined up
now about as wanted, except another
pitcher. The boys go to Mcpherson
TODAY for three games and will have
10 ulay ball there as Mcpherson has
strong team. The attendance her'
has not been all that could be desir
ed. but bad weather and wet grounds
has had sometahing to do with tn
gate receipts. Great Bend is usual!
good ball town, and by the nme
the boys play at home again new
grounds will be prepared and a mucl
larger attendance is expected. I'm
new grounds will be located neare
) town and will be put in base ball col
dition, and that will add more in'ei
. est to the game.
