try and gets teams that will give the
locals a hard fought contest, rs they
all look alike to the St. Maries base
ball players aud while making runs
enough to win ordinary contests, still
have no show against the home play
res.
Sunday the team defeated the
strong team representing Wallace,
their team being a Lick from the city
league players Of that place. The
sane good old story resulted, st. Ma
ries won by a score of IA to z. This
game was thought to be one of the
really hard ones that the locals would
have this season, and IN consequence
the biggest crowd of the season vas
out to see the contest, the attendance
going close to 900.
st. Mariel lined up the same as
usual, in fact being exactly the same
as last Sunday. And when one comes
to study the lineup, to lmpartially
look for weak points, be begins to
realize how 1t is that St. Maries is
winning the games from all Glasses of
teams this year. Look over the bat
ting list, straight through from Krin-
gle leading of, to Purdy at the end.
Can you off hand. say who Is the
weakest batter on the team? No. you
can not. and 10 fact it will take con-
siderable study for any of the so call
ed ''dopesters" to do It.
Sargent and Roach are just getting
into their strides and are hitting the

and making bits that count Ia win

Again, In the fielding department,
Is there a man on the team that you

themselvs in great shape, and, Will lie

take no chances whatever.
All In ell It Is a good ball team
and one that before the cluse of the
seae5n, II opportunities are offered

teams play their prettlest. to defeat
them.

by lnose fielding on both sides, errors
