Until Detected; Explains
Saturday Victory; Norman
Wins Morning Tilt.

a 10 to 5 score in the final en-
counter yesterday afternoon, Ros-
well started home with q claim to
the state championship by virtue
of their feat in taking two games
out of three from the Duke CITY
Grays. Their claim was clOuded

their manager, Oberlin, who won
the first game, had used a piece of
tin to cut the ball throughout,

rules of baseball.

ternoon game to 4. the Roswell
crew annexed the Sunday morning
