bats - with the Verdon ball team
Wednesday but owing to the
inability of Verdon to produce
nine players , they went up
against a mixture from Sabetha ,
Humboldt and Verdon. On account -
count of errors in the fifth inning
the score book rather favors Ver-
don. "Crip" made a good catch
in the 2nd inning and a good
double was tacked by Foster and
