HOME BALL TEAM SCORES A BIG VICTORY OVER THE COUNTY
 SKATERS TUESDAY.
IT WAS A MIGHTY GOOD GAME
We'll Attended and Orderly Through out. Green Forest Hooters
 Flowed Up the Earth.

What the Green Forest boys did to Berryville Tuesday was a plenty. We certainly did put the fixing on them in a great shape, and then some. The score stands 5 for Green Forest and for Berryville.
 It was the best game of ball probab- ly ever seen in this part of the state. There was not a hitch in the game and it was clean and classy from start to finish. Both sides played well, few errors being made by either. At the close of the first half the ninth inning the score stood the same as it did at the close of the game.
 Such game as this one is not only a credit to the boys who played it, but to the communities they rep resent.
 Green Forest boys justly feel proud of the record of Tuesday, feeling that they have gotten even good and strong for the loss of the game at Berryville last week.
 There was good crowd present to witness the game and the way the Green Forest rooters screamed was a sin
 The Green Forest lineup was as follows: Mckee Burney, catcher; Norval Walker, pitcher; Steve Michell, first base; Bill Coxsey, second base; Ned Phillips, third base; Roy Kirk patrick, short stop; Newb Edgmon, right field; Farmer" Cook, center field; and Delbert Howard, left field.
 It was unanimously agreed that the way Burney picked them off the bat was shame. He is the best catcher in this part of the country. Walker is some pitcher, too. He made the Berryville boys drop the stick like it was too hot to handle Steve Michell played handsome game, no errors being recorded against him. Bill Coxsey was on his toes all the time. No one stole second on Coxsey and Burney. Ned Phillips showed good ability as ball player and Roy Kirk patrick short stopped them to finish, that is the one and only ball that came his way. He produced the goods. Newb got all the balls that came his way, making some catches becoming an artist. He also made long run that was beaut. Farmer" Cooker is an old-timer. He was almost late in game but the way he rode in at the last minute and rolled up his sleeves was enough to tell the Berryville boys what was coming. Howard, from the second team, the only one in the game, showed that we have other players coming on that are going to make somebody sit up and take notice in the future.
 Notes on the Game.
 There were good many people here from Urbanette and Freeman, but not many from Berryville.
 Green Forest rooters simply plowed the earth up.
 It is hard to tell what would have be- come of T. c. Gatten had the scores been reversed in favor of Berryville.
 Some of the visitors were a little loud with their betting. Base ball is for amusement and the game is much more enjoyable if the crowd stays with in legitimate lines.
 We couldn't help but sympathize with the Berryville rooters. We are really glad our boys didn't beat lem worse than they did.
 The business houses practically all closed for the game.
 This was probably the first shut-out game ever played at Green Forest.
 The next game between Green For est and Berryvlile will be played at Berryville next Tuesday.
