HOIbrOOk Beats Taylor
Snowflake Ball Team

A baseball team composed of
players from Taylor and Snow
flake journeyed to Holbrook last
Saturday and combated t h e
county seat boys, the latter win
ming by the score of 8 to 5.
Erastus Frost was for the second
time in his life in the pitchers
box and his offerings were good
enough to win the game, but it
is impossible for a nine to play
good ball when they are not in
practice and have not played
together before. Such was the
kind of a team that went up
against Holbrook. Ross Hunt
did the backstopping for Snow
flake. Holbrook had as its
battery Guy Franklin in the box
and Ounce Gardner his receiver.
