for Picked-Up Bunch

The war has broken out and the end
will not come until some time In the
golden days Of autumn.
Yesterday the High School team
met the Scrubs. and the latter now
wish they hadn't. Although the Fl.
S. boys claim the "empire" put the
knife into them on number Of de.
cisiOns and turned it around two or
three times (which the umpire denies
in toto). they proved to be too much
for the Scrubs, although the latter
had the Pueblo pitcher, Gibbons, In
the box. The score at the end OF eight
and a half innings OF fearful slaughter
totted up II for the Fl. S. bunch and
IL for the Scrubs. The detailed score
is suppressed out Of regard for the re-
spected relatives OF these misguided
youths. Following is the lineup:
