School was closed here on Good
Friday and our boys went to Bridge
port to play a game of ball. Neither
our team nor Bridgeport had had any
practice, but both teams did splendid
team work. The game was mostly
a pitchers duel between Mccormick
and Thomas, until the eighth inning
when by poorly fielded ball Bridge
port scored two runs Our boys did.
not let them score amy more and at
one time in the ninth inning it seem
ed as if our boys would tie the score,
but good playing on the part of
Bridgeport prevented them from
scoring. Bridgeport is to be con-
graduated over their victory, but our
boys hope to win, when Bridgeport
comes up here to play Friday after
noon, April 10Th.
