Riverside Ball Nine Defeats Ekonk Team-Comedy We'll Presented Un- der Auspices of K. of C. Council Nurse Going to France.

The Riverside baseball team at Ekonk Sunday afternoon walloped the Ekonk nine for 20 runs. Before the game had hardly started the pill was given ridess to deep center and left field. The Ekonk boys were fine run ners and always managed to catch up to the ball before the visitors could make over two bases. The principal guy with the willow for Riverside was Bigoness. His hitting was noteworthy, as curves of all descriptions were wal loped with ease, in two cases bringing in runs. Walker was the star all- round man for Ekonk. He was in the limelight at all stages of the game and | through his effective batting the Ekonks managed to get their four runs.
 Ekonk started the whole affair in the correct manner, having the visitor 1 to in the second inning until some thing happened all at once which net ted Riverside three runs. In the fifth ! the visitors began scoring again and added two more to their already com fortable lead. With the game in this position, the Riverside boys began to really display their usual stride and in the sixth met Fry's delivery for eight runs, making total of 13 to 1.
 Col. Gallup then tried his skill as a | pill butter and certainly did keep the | boys busy ducking. He managed, how ever to bean a couple of them before he really got warmed up. As soon as he could control the horsehide, his lit tie out curve was banged to the wall
 and the Riverside boys brought their
 score to 20. The Ekonk players during
 the grand merry go-round did manage to bring their one run up to four,
 which sounds pretty good when said fast.
 E. FrinlE umpired the game. Many l of his decisions were very unsatisfac- tory to the fans, but they say he can't
 see very we'll with his glasses, so
 that's the reason for his unreasonable
 strikes and foul balls.
