"A Fight for BLOOD"

Thinking that the Clio team
couldn't hand them anything in the
base ball line the MontroSe bunch
Immediately after their first defeat
challenged Clio to play an extra
game Friday morning for purse
of 5000, each side backing up
$500 worth. This challenge was
accepted without any hesitation, and
the terms were for each team to
play the same lineup with the ex
ceplion Of pitchers. MontroSc Sc
cured the services of GoOdrow to
toss 'em over, and Clio picked
Teachout, who "got their alleys"
the day before, and the fight began.
Both teams were "on their toes"
and nothing seemed to get by until
Teachout scored in the fifth on a
two-base safety by Ladue. 1t was
turn about then and Bronson for
MontrOSe scored on sacrifices. Then
i'm the sixth, Russell made the cir
cult by the assistance of Sharick
and Cheney and that was all there
was in the run line. The rest of
the game was one, two, three, eX-
cept in the ninth when Teachout
saved the day by striking out

Downs tried to steal home. Teach
