The contest Monday was even more
surprising than on the former occa-
sion. There was little change in the
lineup, except that the visitors pitched
one Chamberlain while Lockhart, our
home grown tosser occupied the hill
for Delta. There we're all kinds of
speculations as to the outcome Of the
game, none of which proved absolutely
correct.

wild at times. but this Is true of the
