the diamond to recover from the
effects of a drenching rain, played
the full nine innings, Bangor again
winning by score of ten to six.
Catcher Poole had his hand badly
split early in the game, and Sibsti-

Ball team went to Lawton last Sat-

the score of eight to FIVE in a good
game of ball. Both teams played

costly errors were made in the early

catches a splendid game, and is a
great asset to the team, being a
catcher of considerable experience.

Saturday that he is still able to play
the game by getting four hits out
of four trips to the plate, and also
by pitching a good brand of ball
striking out eleven men in six in
