or any other sort of thing beyond the
simple matter of warIike efficiency
Naturally the leader of the lighting

Another Shut Ont

The Lamar base bali team con
tinued their good work last Sun
day by shutting out the boys from
FIT. Lyon by a score OF Z to o in
a fast game, and those who wit
messed the game were we'll repaid
for their trip out TO the grounds.
The feature OF the game was the
pitching of Garrett for the locals.
To the fans he didn't seem to have
anything but slow ball and that
was all he did have but he had
that working so well that the boys
from the Fort were not able to con-
meet wifi the ball for safe hit
until the ninth inning when Til
lot. a pinch hitter. sent in to bat
for Bee got a hit and spoiled Gar
rett's perfect record.
The fielding of the locals was
first class and only one error. an
excusable one. was made. The bat
ting of Guy. Skinner and Sharkey
was another feature. Bee pitched
a good game for the Fort and the
Lamar boys could do nothing with
him except In the second and third
innings when all their runs were
made.
The local boys are trying hard
to put on a winning article of ball
now and deserve the hearty sup
port of the fans.
They have won the last two games
by shutouts and at their next home
games there should be a record
crowd of rooters present. The box
