TORS favor. Some Of the dozen en-
1cr made by the local hoys can be
excused because of the terrible con-
dilion Of the ground but many Of the
miScuesl were OF such character

them. Throughout the course of the
game there was a heavy drizzle and
the rain not only dampened, in fact
soaked the ball, but tended to
dampen the spirit of the players.

session, the clever left-hander weak

bcllnd him, the visitors scored five
runs on as many hits. 1t was the
beginning of an extremely sad ending
for in the very next inning the Or

The individual star of the game
was Rublee, who in addition to max

catches, which saved further disaster
for the homo team. MONTGOMERY
playcd a good came at third and
Mayo in right field went errorless,
etching two hard flies that looked
Ike sure hits.
Montague starred for Orleans,
This boy got four hits and folded
without error. Pike played an ex-
colent game and got two hits. Con-

rivalry between these two aggrega-
ions and there IS certain to be action
in this game.
