Wilmar Took the Cake.

At Wilmar, last Tuesday even ing before a good-size crowd oi fans and rooters, Wilmar won from Monticello, by the score ot ) to i. While there was many errors, there was much good ball playing and the game was excit- ing from start to finish. The one big feature of the game was a parking of the ball and a home run by Miles, of Monticello, but as bad luck, for us, would have 1t, no one was on the bases at the time.
 Wilmar had a new pitcher, from St. Louis, but he did not look bad to our boys, and they got more hits of him than did the Wilmar team off of Monticello's s pitcher. It was only little hard luck and few costly errors, which will sometimes happen in the very best of ball-teams, that lost us the game.
