FAIRVIEW
Baseball esme Of Season.

Monday, at the Greaser.Pa Parrish
park the Ida May team met the To-
Gals in a very interesting game,
Owing to getting a late start 1t was
thought the full nine innings could
not be played. but owing to fast
playing on the part of both teams
they succeeded in getting the full
amount played. The Ida May team
made a fine showing against the
locals but the pitching Of Mitchell
and the general good work Of the
rest OF the team helped to run up
a good score for the home team.
This was the first game Of the sea
son for the Independents and they
had received little practice. al.
though it is generally thought a
pitcher cannot hit, Mitchell got two
Of the five runs, one Of them being
q full circuit. The game ended
with a score OF 81 in favor Of Fair
view.
