Y. N. c. A.
Take Two Games From The
Lexington Team

The Y. M. G. A. team journeyed up
to Lexington to All a date with the
baseball club Of that city for two
games on Friday.
Lexington has been touted this
year as having its usually strong team
and 1t was predicted that the young.
sters would run up against something
stronger than the City League teams
and come back with the small end
of the score to their credit. Some
one will doubtless say that the Lex.
ington team must not be very strong
for the score was all one-sided. The
dose Is rather hard to take when both
games go to the visiting team, but
the local boys took both games by
S-3 and 7-3 scores.
The line up was as follows: Gilpin
s., Jones. l., Wootten, M, Porter, 1st,
Basford, g., Weed g., Mason, r., Van
voorhis. c., Bonds, D., and Norrick.
It is hard to pick out features Of
the games as the boys had the home
team so much at their mercy, but the
work of the out field should be men.
toned as we'll as the good pitching
Of Bonds who pitched his first game
for the Y. M. G. A. team this year and
