three runs on a clean hit made off of
Thomas on his initial ball From
then on to the close of the game, the
visitors were unable to accept the
offerings of Thomas to their advantage
and the final score ended with the
error runs made in the beginning.
Thomas struck out eleven of the Pu-
laski Cobbs and only one hit was made
off of the classy little twirler through

The High school lads faced the Mas

and a strong determination to accept
all offerings within the swing of the

made to the outfield, Shelton winning
the honor of placing one so far out of
the reach Of the right fielder as to east
