That Baseball Game

The game Of baseball between the
Caldwell High School and Parma teams
Yesterday resolved itself into game Of
horseplay that was not highly relished
by lovers Of good ball in Parma. The
Caldwell boys did their best, but they
were clearly outclassed, and The game
was decided in the first inning. 1t
would have been a good practice game
for our boys, and they should have
taken full advantage OF it, for they need
practice. Horse play isn't practice.
Under the new management the
Parma team seems to be
much improved in placing the
players, and it is hoped that the good
work will continue. There is no ques
tion that Parma has the material for
a team that will equal anything in this
section, the requisites necessary to
making it such being a good coach and
practrice. We believe that the new
management intends to give us q
team commensurate with the support
given by the bushes men OF the town.
