OXFORD


Rising Sun, on Saturday, sent Ok
ford down to defeat for the second
time this half, by the same score,
to 1. The only time Oxford could
cross the plate was when Paul Cam
eron put the ball on the coping of
the school, in left field, for a home
run. Hanna, in the ninth, for Ris-
ing Sun, lifted one clear over the
school house for the circuit.
Miller and Walker both pitched
fine ball, but Walker weakened in
the seventh and the team back OF
him also got shaky. Three hits, a
walk and some loose work in the
field, sent three runs over for the
visitors, and the game was lost for
Oxford.
Robinson, on first base for Rising
Sun, played wonderful game, while
G. Dunbar, in right, made a great
catch when he pulled down a long
hit that looked good for extra bases,
after racing into deep right-center.
rhe game was marked by several
fast plays, both on the infield and
outfield, by both teams. The score:
