Lose To Poplar Bluff

A special train carried load OF
Pocahontas fans to Poplar BLUM Sun
day where they witnessed good game
between Poca and Poplar Blum. The
Missouri boys won the game, but gave
the Pocahontas team credit for being
the fastest team the yhave opposed this
year.
Features OF the game were n home
run by Spikes, followed by three-bag-
ger by Lincoln. McKnelly of Walnut
Ridge pitched for Poca and allowed
seven hits. These, coming along with
four errors, accounted for the victors'
four scores. Poca hit Gray for eigh:
safeties but were unable TO get them Mt
the proper times. The final score was
40 for Poplar Bluff.
