The defeat OF Alma at the hands of
Ithaca last Thursday afternoon was
featured by the hard fighting and
clean playing of both teams through
out the game. In the first inning,
Ithaca scored her first run and from
that time on during the entire game

second and third sacks with one or

in fine style.
After Ithaca had scored in her half
of the first, Barry for Alma got 4

third on a bunt by Call. In the mix

times while Alma's hits were we'll
