ABERDEEN COMING
FOR SUNDAY GAME
Troop "A" Was No Match for Local
Diamond Stars" "Alemada Polied n
Homer Into the Creek-S0me Hit.

Alameda" brought the bleachers to
their feet, that is the people where
the bleachers should have been, Sun
day afternoon at Burrus Field, when
with two on the bases ahead of him he
connected with one of Barnard's crook
ed ones and Strengthened II into a home
run, scoring three runs for Troop "a"
which had previously been badly out
classed
The final score was twenty to three
in favor of the town team but the score
does not indicate the nature of the vic
tory. The game was well played and
would have been close but for the weak
pitching of the guardsmen who were
forced to rely upon an outfielder for
battery service.
Manager Jacobs of the American
Falls Indians has scheduled a game
for Sunday with Aberdeen to be played
at the Natatorium field beginning at
2:30 Sunday afternoon. Aberdeen has
not played the locals yet this season
son considerable interest is manifested
over the outcome fthe game.
Captain Hooker expects to use Dan
Altmyer in the box Sunday. Compton
