On last Saturday afternoon the
Polytechnic boys donned their new
base ball uniforms and proceeded
against the husky bunch of ball play
ers gathered from Wildwood, Pros
pect, Chilhowee and other localities.
The boys of Polytechnic had had only
three or four afternoons for practice
while the Academy boys had been
practicing for some time and had
played games previous to this one. At
first it looked as if the visitors were
going to have easy sailing, but the
local team got busy in the latter
part of the game, and when the game
was over the score stood 8 to 10 in
favor of the visitors.
With a little more practice and
better team work, Polytechnic will
have a team that will be a credit to
any preparatory school.
Next Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock the boys will play the Friends
vile Academy team. This will be a
good game as Friendsville is strong
this year and their coach, Prof. Tener
will do the pitching for the visitors.
Admission Is cents.
