In the afternoon game our Boost
er boys did not fare SO we'll, al
though it was a grand game from
start to finish with the balloon
ready to go up at any moment. For
the first three innings there was
nothing doing in the line of getting
a man over the pan
In the first half of the fourth,
Anita, at bat, the ball refused to
stay in the infield until six hits
had been registered netting as man
scores. Our boys not wishing to
be outdone in such a manner came
to bat in the last half OF the fifth
with Dimick on the short end Of
the wagon tongue. Clyde took a
fancy to the second ball pitched,
but their acquaintance was of short
duration for he greeted it ON the
nose for three sacks. Graham came
up next with the big stick but had
no use for it as the ball made his
acquaintance by landing in the
small of his back and he rode the
ambulance to first. Rend'eman
clouted sacrifice to second scor.
ing Dimick Cotton exchanged
greetings with one for a fielder's
choice scoring Graham and reach
ing the initial sack without a mis-
hap. Brownie came up and showed
his contempt for the sphere by re-
fusing to connect but Sturgeon was
there as usual with the big wallop
and met one in midship that went
over the fore castle scoring Cotton.
Knox was not to be outdone in this
round and laid two-bagger out in
the ocean scoring Sturgeon. Knox
was caught trying to make the thir
lap in the journey which wound up
the inning netting us four runs.
In the sixth Dimick came up with
a bingle and got two meal tickets.
Graham being hungry copped one

seventh inning totaling eleven runs.
