The baseball game that was play
ed last Saturday on the Loup City
diamond by the Divis Creek and
Ashton clubs was a very interesting
one. For rive innings it seemed as if
oeither side could make any head
way, whitewash after whitewash bo
iug practiced by both clubs. At the
end of the fifth inning only three
hard earned scores were made, giving
Davis Creek one and Ashton two.
From this on it seemed to be au
easy victory for the Ashton boys.
The Davis (’reek troys were only
able to make one more tally while
the Ashton boys billed the halls
right and left and finished up with
a victory of 2 to 10. in their favor.
Never the-less the Davis Creek boys
played a good game and their score
of whitewashes was well up to the
mark of professional players The
heavy score made by Ashton was
due no doubt to a necessary ehan.;e
of pitchers in the Davis (’reek nice,
