 The ball game last Saturday with the All-Thompsonvilles was won easily by the local team. Siswick was in good form and allowed but a few scattering hits. Ash was on the receiving end of the battery and made a good showing. ''Kid" Matthewson, one of the white hopes of Rockville, was the manager of the Thompson yilles, and he added little diversion to the program by trying to choke Umpire Miller for a decision that let in two runs. He was separated from his prey before any great harm was done. The game ran to the eighth inning with the score 3 to 1 for the visitors. In the eighth the local players piled up seven runs and took four more in the ninth. The score by innings:-
