and the pent up enthusiasm of the
town people made one feel as though

as an incentive for them to do their
best, their friends, including their
/ brothers, their sisters, their sweet
hearts. and their boosters, to the
tune of fifty strong, in wagons, bug
gies, and in the saddle, formed an
imposing procession that invaded
Summerfie1d to do battle, and gain
honor in the field of baseball.

stronghold of Symmetrical with base
ball enthusiasm, and when they got

hearts, for they saw that if they
beat those Summerfeld boys again,
