 Though rain clouds lowered overhead all the day, the Stafford baseball tean went to Goodyear, formerly Williams. vile, Sunday where they were defeat. ed, 16 to O. The long rough ride, the chilly day, damp diamond, no prac- tice for more than a week-several ex. cuses for the defeat might be made Nine runs were made in the first in. ming, mainly through errors and mis plays, but also because the Goodyear players were strong with the stick In the fourth inning Wise took Cera go's place on the mound and Pallanl was put on third. Thereupon the playing seemed to grow little tighter but the scoring was not completely stopped, five runs being made before the final frame closed. It must be ad mitted that Nichols. who pitched fol Goodyear, was very good. He weak ened not a bit throughout the whol, game, allowing but two singles II five times at bat he made four hits two doubles and two singles. Al attempt is being made to have Good years team come here for game bu it is doubtful if they will leave thei home grounds this year. Joseph Mo ran of this place was picked to umpire the game. Though close plays wer, many his decisions, being fair, wer' not protested by either side. Score:
