The Washington playground in- door baseball team lost it's first game of the season this morning by a 107 score when they stacked up against the Bartlett playground outfit.

The last four innings, however, were slow and poorly played by both teams although in the fourth inning the Bartiett's scored three runs. Nedwell, the regular Washington pitcher and captain of the team, did : not play this morning. As & result pitching on the Washington side was weak. Wojack of the Bart lett's scored the only home run of the game. There was no outstand- ing work in the outfield on either side.
