Ever sinee the White-Tyler musical
success, given by the /. G. A. some
time ago, Kansas City has been plan

great and so widespread had Denver's

that the Choral club and the l. G. A.

The games on the White Lot ellipse yes

to use in referring to these battles. for
they were the longest and most uninter-

Agriculture strengthened it's hold on the
top rung by defeating the Commissioners
by 13 to T.

having made enough runs In the first
three innings to win the game. The Com
nissioners when they first lined up looked
exceptionally good, for they had out their
thcy simply could not play together. At
that. their fielding was fairly good. but
they could not get anywhere near the
Aggie drives, 1t seemed, and this fact
made 1t appear that the boys were having
difficulty in fielding.
Newberry again showed up to ADVANTAGE
b. allowing but five scattered hits, and
had 1t been left to him the Commissioners
would not have made a run. The support
given him was little ragged at times.
but not enough to cause any great trou-
bic. Three men were used up In the box
for the mmissioners-naLlely, Burch.
Whiting and Handiboe-and all of them
were made to bite the dust by the hard
hitting Farmers. Fourteen hits were
made off this trio. Johnny Priest had an
eye out for bingles yesterday and landed
nicely for three. Doyle played a fast
game on second getting six hard chances
without tumble. The Commissioners
pulled off fast bit of fielding also. 1t
was a double play. in which Handiboe.
Carroll and Thomas figured.
The official score:
