covered the valley of San Jose. AT the

The Washburn base ball team jour
neyed to Odanah last Sunday morn
ing where they were scheduled to
play the team from the reservation.
The team left this city in the morn
ing with hopes high, expecting to re-
turn in the evening with the long
end of the score. They were given a
big Disappointment for they ran up
against stronger team than they ex-
pected to meet. In the contest they
did not have ghost of show as the
score of 80 to 9 would indicate.
1t was simply a slaughter for the
Washburn bunch. The team from
this city played hard during the first
part of the contest but they did not
have show and this took all of the
ginger" out of them and the Oda-
nah. boys made runs at will during
the remainder of the contest.
On July 4th the Washburn team
will go to Bayfield, where they will
play their second game of the season
