The locals went to Carroll last Sum.
day to play Dunlap to decide who bad
the best team, and to decide game
of base ball that was played on the
local grounds some weeks ago. As
usual the game went as the majority
do, in favor of the locals to L..
With two outside upmires one from
Carroll and the other from Glidden,
Dunlap had nothing to beef over. The
game was fast and snappy up to the
seventh ianing when the locals pound
ed Pitcher Brace all over the base ball
lot ana Brace was soon retired by his
brother. who was not much bstter.
The game opened up soon after the
afternoon passenger came in. SO that
the base ball fans from here and the
other neighboring towns could have
plenty of time to witness the whole
game. Denison got their first run in
the first inning and Dunlap tied it in
the fifth. up to this time it was very
exciting, neither side scoring in the
sixth. Then came that fatal seventh
for Dunlap and that lucky one for
Denise for the locals took the privi-
lege Of the old time fence ball that
Brace threw. At this time the whole
Dunlap team laid down and before
they knew just what they were doing.
they had five scores chaiked uI
against them and with one more ii
the eighth gave Denison the game .,
