Baseball Game
In one of the tightest games of
the season, the Huskies went
down in defeat before the power
ful Hammon team, thus losing
their last possible chance to win
the trophy. Although the game
was well played and marked the
return to batting form of several
of the Huskie players, the Ham-1
mons out-hit them and came in ,
at the close of the game with a |
score of 10 to 6.

Friday afternoon, the high
school boy’s second team and the
high-school girls met for the sec
ond time in ferocious battle. The
boys were resolved to wipe away
the blot of their former defeat
by this same team, and took the
lead early in the game and held
it, but in the last inning some
thing slipped up. Either pitcher
Bockman went to pieces or the
girls suddenly developed an ap
palling ability to whack the ball
for they over-took the six run
lead of the boys and finished the
game with a score of 17 to 16 in
their favor. And are those boys
delighted? Well, you guess. De
spite the persistent efforts of the
reporter. Manager Eddie Shedley
of the boys’ team could not be
reached for an interview.
