FARMERS LOST GAME I
BY SMALL MAJORITY.
Is Believed That They Could Win
With a Few Days More
of Practice.
The much heralded ball game
between the Rice Farmers and
Welsh's semi-professionals came
ofi Thursday afternoon as per the
schedule and it is cheering to say
that the farmers lost the game by
a very small majority. The six
runs they scored in the second
inning came very near being all
they needed to win. The score at
the close of the game stood 8 to 6
in favor of the town team.
Most of the fans present ex
pressed the belief that the farm
ers could, with a little practice
win from the regulars. Be that as
it may they played a very good
game of ball and showed a keen
knowledge of its finer points.
The game was clean, the um-i
pire's decisions being taken with'
out question by both sides. I
It is to be hoped that the teams
will match another game before
the season closes.

LAKE ARTUR WON
SUNDAY'S BALL GAME
BY SCORE OF 8 TO 1.
Lake Arthur won the ball game
here last Sunday from Welsh by
a score of 8 to 1. Probably the
largest crowd that ever witness
ed a game on the local diamond'
was out to see the battle.
It was an off day for the Welsh
boys and although they played
some good innings, a series of er
rors let Lake Arthur in with a
bunch of runs.
Crowley comes here for a game
to-morrow and our prided team
should win another rep.
