The Curtisville team arrived an
hour late, having waited for players
from Tracy to assist them, and still
being short players were strengthened
by two of the Red Hill players, E.
Layne and Bryant, two others assist

scores, The next batter drove a sharp
grounder to him, which he secured
stopping further scoring Houts
caught the game, Byrd pitching the

Randle umpired the game, trying to
give fair decisions but the Curtisville
players INDUCED in some unfair criti-
cism. 1t isn't good policy to kick at
the umpire.
The White City team of near Tracy,
will be here Saturday, July II, to see
if they can't lower the laurels of the
locals.

The work of Byrd in the box for Sc

= he pitched remarkable game against
p the Tigers, who would have knocked

support was gilt-edged, only two er

The Red Hill players played in goo'
style till the latter part of game whel
