mighty have fallen. Breathe the sad
news lightly for the great Lakeland
Band baseball team (?) has gone
down in dire defeat, yes, sored in
the dust by the horns Of the power
full ELK. Not even a good strue-
gle, JUS a low easps and all was
over One hundied and twenty-five
people attended the ceremony. and
Messrs Watson and Van performed
the last rites. Twelve to four was
the final score of this long to be re-
memhered battle. At exactly three
thirty the field was cleared for ac
tlon and the band team who were
ilrst at bat went up into the grand
stand and livened up things with a
grand march. Out on the field those
nifty looking Elks in their spanking
white uniforms, Brother Pinch
turned on the current and the bat
tie was on. Before Pinch got warmed
up the Band had chased three runs
across the plate but after the first
inning they did not even have a look
in. The Elks made a run in every
inning but the eighth, knocking
turner out of the box in
the sixth, and lighting on
Flanagan for four more hits. The
one bright spot on the band side was
the batting Of Barnes who got four
hits out of five times at bat, one OF
them three-bagger. The CHAMPS
better look him over King and Law
Ter were the heavy hitting Flks,
that is the long distance hitters,
while Pinch got a two-bagser and
two singles out of four times at bat.
In fact every Elk but Verigan and
Chunn got a binele of some kind.
Chunn's brilliant fielding made up
for his lack of hitting, he getting
ONE big chance and with mouth
and hands wide open gathered it in
in fine style in his hands of course.
