big fire. For three years he was
connected with the Gould fur farm

of 10 to 6; Return Game Sun.
day at Quarry City.

Ankley for Markville won his sec
ond game Sunday against Sandstone
on the Markville diamond by score
of ten to six. Although Sandstone
made twelve hits from his delivery,
he kept them pretty well scattered
throughout the game. Pearson for
Sandstone allowed thirteen hits in the
six innings that he pitched, most of
them coming in the fourth when
Markville scored five runs. Linehan
who relieved him did not allow either
hits or runs during the three innings
he pitched. Sandstone was crippled
by not having a full team, forcing
them to draft two players from the
crowd. Pearson was the heavy man
with the stick for Sandstone, getting
three hits, a single, double, and
triple in five trips to the plate, while
Rutherford carried batting honors for
Markville with three bingles in five
trips Ankley struck out nine, Pear.
son seven, and Linehan one.
Markville plays a return game al
Sandstone Sunday.
