John Bromley outpitched Herb Hall
in the third of the post-season games
at Ray Sunday, but lost the decision
by a 5 to 3 score. The scoring of four
earned runs for the Mill does not tell
the whole story of this game. 1t was
repetition of what Ray fans have
had to look at the past few games, a
combination of slow fielding, punk
base running, bone-headed plays and
dissension among the players.
Probably dissesion is the main rea-
son for three straight defeats in the
post-season series. 1t is common talk
among the fans, who can hear much
of it while the game is progressing.
No blame can fall on Manager Herb
Hester, for this state of affairs ex-
listed when he took charge of the team
in August. Hester Strengthened out
everything and got the team to going
again. We all know of the splendid
string of victories turned in while
peace reigned in Rays baseball fam
lily. Here of late it has been just as
bad again, the fans having to sit
through listless games listening to
the wrangling and petty quarreling
and then see it crop out by affecting
the playing. But no more of this!
The game in detail:

ter. Guest fouled out to Tonneman.

CR|MP PUT N MILLS VICTORIES.
DELHI PITCHES MAGNIFICENT BALL
SHUTTING OUT M|uERS 5 TO D

A large crimp was injected into the
Millers' winning streak Wednesday,
when in one of the greatest games Of
the season, Delhi handed it to the
Haydenites to the tune of s. to 0.
Delhi was in great form and pitched
a magnificent game, being in trouble
in but one inning, the second frame
Three scratch singles had filled the
bases, and line drive to center made
it look as though the Millers would
score. But Tobin nabbed the pill, and
then doubled Forsythe off second, and
Ray fans again drew a long breath
The rest of the game it was all
Delhi, for in addition to shutting out
the Mill, he knocked the only home
run of the contest Delhi will start
again for the Mines Sunday at Hay
den against Herb Hail.
Johnson, who officiated on the
mound for the Miilers, was touched
for ten timely bingles; he also strug-
gled through the game with poor sup
port in the second and third line
trenches. While the Millers have won
three games to the Mines one, all
Ray is confident that the Hayden
crowd have seen their last victory,
and as one man is pulling for Delhi
and victory tomorrow

Christmas Boxes
and Letters For
Ray Boys in Camp

There is need for prompt action if
each Ray man now serving the colors
is to receive a Christmas box.
Anyone having suggestions for fl
nancing this worthy undertaking,
please give them to Mrs. N. H. Prest
or Mrs. Shelby w. Shive, committee
under National Council of Defense.
The same committee will have
charge of the making of comfort bags
to be sent with the Christmas boxes.
The cooperation of every man, wom-
an and child is needed if these boxes
and bags are to gladden. the hearts of
our fighting men on Christmas day.
Everyone in Ray will be given a
chance to correspond with men who
have gone from here into the training
camps just as soon as a complete list
of the men and their addresses can
be secured. An effort will be made
to have five friends of each man write
at least once a month-not that the
men want sympathy, most of them
would resent it, but just to let them
know that we are interested in them.
