CeIina II-LiTna 4

The newly organized Celina team won
their first game last Sunday, when they
defeated the fast Lima K c. +. bunch
II to 4. The day was almost too cold
for baseball, and this fact, coupled with
a muddy diamond, made the game slow,
with plenty of errors. Davis, the young
Celina twirler, pitched an excellent
game, and kept his hits we'll scattered.
Perfect support would have given him a
shut-out. An unusually large crowd
witnessed the game despite the inclem-
ent weather, and prospects are good for
ord-breaking crowds if the weather
man treats Manager Betz in a decent
manner for the next few Sundays. Here
is hoping for lots of Old Soils rays and
