WeyerhaeuSer Uses Three Pit
chers.-AmacOy Lake
Personals

The Amacoy boys journeyed to
Weyerhaeuser Sunday, where they
played ball against that city. Our
boys have practically had no practice
so they decided to play a game for
that purpose. All appeared on the
Weyerhaeuser ball diamond bright and
early. In their overal1s, unionalls
and old clothes the boys were quite a
contrast to the gray suits of the Wey-
erhaeuseriteS. The pitcher on the OBJ
posing side declared he didn't need to
warm up to throw to those farmers
or -"hayseedS," as the fans named
them, and as result of his mot
warming up the Amacoy lads ran in
four scores in the first inning. John
Atwood, pitcher for AmacOy, pitched
a fine game throughout, while Weyer-
haeuser put men in the pitchers box
three different times. The game ended
in Amacoy's favor, the score being
IA to II. The boys say they got what
they went after-good practice.
