Opposition for the Reps arrived in town last Sat-

the Community Business Men of Mt. Rainier. Both
teams were composed Of good guys and everyone Liked
them immensely but their billing ball players
seemed bit exaggerated. Go1dfaden's Gauchos a.
nassed record total of four home runs, triple,
two doubles and Il bingles to win both tussles, the
first 1911 and the second 1873.
Any praise We might offer the days composite
performances would sound rather empty considering
the type Of opposition and lopsided scores so
will confine the commentary department to amre--

May be equally hard to endure, you Will find.
Father 1abors with all his light

Fearful lest the sum he earns
