foot ball players, and from now on until

will do away with the handling of SO

cARWICOS EASILY WIN
FROM THE OAKFIELDS

The Carwicos won an uninteresting
game from the Oakfields by a score of
6 to 1 yesterday. AIsip started in the
boz - the Oakfields and pitched good
ball, but lis team mates seemed to
have an off day and gave him poor
support, and at the end of the third
inning he retired in favor Of Pate, who
checked The Carwicos run getting.
Boyett was in the box for the Car
wicos and did good work all the way
through. Nell's catch of Bagwelrs line
drive was clearly the feature of the
game.
The game:
Oakheld took the field. Quina, the
first man up, went down at first, Motta
famed, 3. Anderson got a life on Ora
HAMS wild throw at first to catch him
and Gould went down at second.
For the Oakf1elds, Graham went out
at first, Pate struck out and Weber
got four wide ones. R. Alsip hit to
right field, which Anderson muffed,
Weber scoring and Alsip going to
third. The throw to catch him was
