mond both won their ball games.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
took the FAST X. OF C. aggregation
into camp by a score of 10 to I. The
Vets played a hard game from start
to finish. Things never seemed TO
break in their favor, but they made
a gallant attempt to maintain rnat
spirit of fair and clean play in the
game and we're successful. 1t has
been remarked that the Vets dis
played as good sportsmanship as
stances.
The K. OF c. team started the
game by securing one run in their
first frame. The Vets came back IN
their half and scored two runs. The
K. of c. team then scored another

after every ball like a veteran.
