The best game of ball ever pulled
off on the Summerfield diamond took
place last Saturday between the Ok
ford team and the Tigers" The game
was a hard fought one and with the
exception of few errors both teams
did excellent work. Up to the end of
the sixth inning the score stood 8
to in favor of Tigers. On account
of wild throws by an Oxford player
in the seventh, the Tigers" added
five runs. In the ninth, the Oxford
boys added one run and the game
ended in favor of the Summerfield
team by a score of s to 3. Lee Buser
pitched Z INNINGS, and was replac-
ed by E. Bowman who delivers good
bali. The Tiger battery did some very
excellent work and if the boys con-
tinue improving they will be hari TO
beat
The game on July 4th will be be-
tween Belleview and the Tigers. If
The Tigers win they will receive two
new balls, one from H. j. Wall &
Son, and the other from The
Chronicle.
