is the older team and should have had 4
walkaway. but the youngsters from the
Department Of Agriculture put up a hard

they continue to put up the class OF ball
that they did yesterday. they win be
strong contenders for the District title
in Section B.

with the stick and several times a timely
hit or two would have scored runs and

had men as far as third twice and on
second once. but could not get them
any nearer home
