BA SEBALL
Sixteen to six was the result
of the base ball game between
Kennecott and McCarthy and
was very diss ippointing to the
local boys. With the assistance
of a new battery Kennecott made
a walk away of it.
The local boys were simply out
played but still they have a
team that would even up things
in another game. Murray pitch
ed good ball, but his support
failed him. Kennecott has prom
ised another game at a later
date and the locals claim that
they will send them back with
a defeat.
