condition of the soil. Most of
the plants in these spots are di-

5 to 4.
Although defeated the local

with colors flying, scoring two
runs in the ninth inning with two

pitcher, on account of the cold
was trifle wild, walking several
men in the first two innings, but
as the game progressed he stead
led himself and held Winchester
almost scoreless for the rest OF.

catcher, caught a splendid game
after the first three innings and
also delivered some timely hits.
On account OF the high wind
which prevailed throughout the
game, playing was difficult. and
fly balls were exceptionally diff
fcult to field. Brock although
charged with an error, played
nice game around the second bag
and also led his team in batting,

due to the spores produced by
