We Won from Fowler. Lost to
Melon Growers in Battle of
Twelve Hot Innings

In the two games OF base bail yester-
day the fans sure got their moneys
worth. Especially was this true Of the
afternoon contest.
In the morning Ordway met the
Fowler team on the home diamond
and after the smoke OF battle had
cleared away the Apostles OF Pure
Water from Fowler found that they
were the pUssessors Of the short end Of
a score of to 4. This game was not
marked by any particularly sensa-
tional features, but was good, clean
game withal.
But II the forenoon game lacked
ginger, the afternoon event made up
for it 10 plenty and kept the large
crowd of fans In delirium for nearly
three hours. Ordway scored two 10
the second and Rocky Ford scored two
In the ninth The home bunch could
not scare up any more In the ninth,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth innings.
The boys from the Melon Town Sc
cured three scores In the twelfth put
ting our boys down for keeps. When
Ordway went to bat the last time 1t
was so dark that they could not see
the ball or else they might be nlayinp
yet. Morgan pitched for Rocky Ford
aud Debenham for Ordway. and it was
a terrific pitchers battle throughout
Well, we broke even on the games,
anyhow, and that helps some.

A Hint To Advertisers

One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep en- walking;
One word won't tell folks who you are
You've got to keep on talking;
One inch won't make you very tall.
You've got to keep on growing;
One little ad won't do it all
You've got to keep them going.
