TONY DEFEATS US
The Wallop Us to the Lovely Tune of
6 to 4

The local base ball team met and
was conquered by the Tony twirlers of
the horsehide sphere last Sunday on
the home grounds. Considering the
lack. of practice of the home team. the
game was we'll played. At the end of
the fifth inning the score stood to /,
and the spectators anticipated a good
game unless something happened. 1t
happened. In the sixth Tony annexed
four round trips, with nobody out.
Local fans were saved from apoplexy
only by reason of the next three men
failing to beat the ball to first.
Our boys got their second wind in the
seventh, putting three men over the
pan, with second and third occupied,
and only one man out. 1t looked like a
cinch to tie the score at least, but
well, things will happen. A couple of
easy ones were picked up by the first
baseman, and our team went to pas
ture. The rest of the game was une-
ventful, Tony taking another credit for
good measure.
The teams were made up as follows:
