(By c. Green. }


If there was a fan on the local
baseball grounds who can truthfuliy
say that he did not get his moneys

often and errors were conspicuous by
their absence Now that the season
is pretty we'll along the boys are
playing air tight ball and it is u
pleasure to watch all four teams in
action.
With Herrington in the box for
Hollingsworth and Reynolds doing
the hurting for the soldiers, the first
same started at $3.50. Both twirlers
did themselves proud and the men
behind them backed them up in big
league shape. the honors going
again to the diminutive third base
man, Franklin. Twice did he run al
most to the fence for high flies and
grabbed them both times. The final
score was two to one in favor of the
Militia
I After a few minutes intermssion
the Elks and Moose lined up, Fuller
in the box for the latter and Veri-
San for the former This game
proved just the reverse to the former
