TAIRvIEw, April 1.-THE
local high school baseball team
had NO difficulty yesterday after
noon in rompIng away with a 1873.
victory over the fast Pennington
High School team. This was the
first game Of the season for the
local boys against an opposing
high school team, and they came
through with colors flying. I'm
fortunately, ABE" Wilson and
Underwood were not able to be in
the game. A. Ammons filled the
position on the mound to the salts
faction Of all concerned. White
. Catcher Wyer's whip to second
| proved the undoing OF several
, would-be stolen bases by the Far
mington players. The game sche-
duIed for tomorrow at Grafton
will likely prove q harder nut for
the locals to crack. Grafton High
has practically the same team as
! last year when 1t made an un-
usually fine record. Although
Wilson and Underwood will still
be out OF the game. Coach Copp
is confident Of taking over this
contest.
First Practice Friday
The track team of the local
high school will have Its first
practice Of the season Friday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock on the local

terial for a track team and every
event will have a representative In
the field meet at Fairmont on
May 10. Toothman and a. AM
mons are both capable Of making
the 1%00-yard dash in less time
than the state record last year.
What can be done In the other
events is still a matter Of uncer-
tainty, but 1t is likely that capable
men a be found for all entries.
