their opponents on the last day Of
the season. Both games were snappy,
exciting and clean, yes clean from the
point of language. After the games

hrom the baseball field, on Enoch
Prices farm, to enjoy the supper at
the hall. At 8 p. m, splendid pro .
gram was carried out. A free concert
was given by the band, supported with
musical selections and readings by
local talent. Also Judge Harry john
