Ball Game.

The Phillips county High School ball
team played Imperial on the Holyoks
grounds last Friday, the game resulting
in score of 9 to 0 in favor of Imperial.
The Holyoko team lost the game in the
first three innings as the Imperial nine
scored only once in the last 6 innings.
These six innings showed decidedly
good playing for both teams and had it
not been for some errors in the first
three innings the game would have
shown up altogether differently.
Cur boys have not had much practice
but from the way they did in the latter
part of the game, it looks very encour-
aging for some good playing by them
before the season closes.
The boys expect to play at Sterling
Friday.
