corah had connected seven scores to
a goose egg for McGregor.
The McGregor team is one of the
strongest teams playing here this
season. Balliett, McGregor's pitcher
lis cracker-jack and knows how to
pitch ball, but the locals know how
to bat, so things are evened up with
a good pitcher.

corah and pitched a great game. He
! had plenty of stuff all the way and
McGregor couldn't do very much
: with him.

pitcher is one of the best the Locals
have faced this season.
Decorah got eight strikeouts and
McGregor five, and the locals got
six hits and the visitors five.
