Monarch Blanks LOckhart,

Last Saturday afternoon, Monarch
defeated Lockhart to the tune of 8
to 0. Only one time did Lockhart
threaten to score, in the 4th inning
Monarch made three straight errors
and the boxes got full, the man on
third got caught off the bag and
Hames struck the other two out.
In the first and second innings
Hames struck out six men. The fea-
lures of the game for Monarch were
the splendid pitching of Hames, he
holding Lockhart safe at all times,
and when Lockhart got men on bases
they couldn't get the bat that was
needed to bring them home. He gave
up only two hits during the game
and struck out eleven men.
Blair for Lockhart pitched better
game than the result shows, the kind
of game that will win the most of
his games, but his support was rotten.
He gave up six hits and struck out
three men.
A good many errors were made on
both sides, on account of the ground
being rather soft in places.
Hewitt, of Monarch, made a pretty
catch in left field.
Batteries: For Monarch, Hames and
Boiling; Lockhart, Blair and Farmer.
Umpire, Nichols. Time 1:45.

Sank County Bear Stories

NAMED an unbroken forest, save for
an occasional Indian trial then un-
used. The two little cousins were
playing near their home when they
observed bear coming and ran for
the house as fast as their little legs
would carry them. Unless a bear is
furnishing or close pressed he will not
attack grown people but with
small children their inclination
is entirely different. When they an
nounced that they had seen bear it
was not at first believed but when an
investigation was made by zone of the
mothers she learned to her horror
that bear was close at hand. Before
decisive action could be taker the
black object shambled into the deep
woods again from which he had come
and left behind only two frightened
boys and still mere frightened
mothers.
