It was typical Fourth Of July; heat,
dust, patriotism, and noise intermingled
and the boys deserve credit for they
waited until the day arrived before be-
ginning the firing and bell-ringing and
then kept the celebration within reason
able bounds. The event Of the day was
the base ball game on the Common be-
tween the married and single men and 1t
drew a good crowd. Although the mar
ried men had the game all won in adj
vance 80 far a. talk goes, there appeared
to be some miscarriage Of their plans
when they reached the field OF conflict.
For the frs. four innings the game was
as interesting "a one could ask TO wit
ness, neither side being able to score;
but thereafter the boys showed better
staying qualities and In the parlsnce Of
the street, "put 1t all over" the older
chaps to the tune of fifteen to eight.
The defeated ones are all courage for
next year.
