Plckups Trim Paxton Nine

A very interesting game of base
ball was played on the local dia-
mond last Sunday when the Pax
ton nine came up to cross bats
with the local nine, but as most of
the boys of the regular nine were
away, pickup team was gotten
up and mind you sprung surprise
OIL the visitors by trimming them
up to the tune of 4 to 9.
1t was a fine game from start to
finish, some fine plays being made.
Paxton was loaded for bear
when they arrived and in order
be sure of winning the game, ha
secured the services of several @.
the boys of the swift Hamblin
nine-but it didn't help.
AS the busy season is now on
there will likely be no more base
ball this season, with the excep-
ton of probably another game
with Paxton.

The Banner is the only paper in
the Valley that prints four pages
of home print, and therefore is
the largest.
In return for the splendid pat
