S. .History., There are just elgbt
boys lu uavH class, so Dean Stock dale
and Mr. Wilson played It was a
very Interesting game. Dean Stock
dale forgot to touch second base, so

eral times when tbe occasion did not
demand that be should. The result
of tbe game was 7 to 4 in favor of
the farmers. Another one of these
