(Conn Hall started lo write this,

I otter do a little work on the dia

the local bunch may decide nol to

son. And while this advice is on tup.
one might gently whisper to the local
'iniich thai they might do a little ex
Ha work IhemscUvs
Put to get in Ihe running. Did you
see Ihe game.' We guess those boys
made up for their Insl ga did
Ihey not ? Ib.w did you like Probst's
work in the box ,' And how about
Captain Short ie's work on second
"nil J - with the willow? Some
style to it, wasn't there.' (Hi, no:
the Medford boys havn't any gin
ger; we oimhl to invite a few more
Jacksonville tenuis over and show
them the game.
Laying aside all kidding, the game
furnished Sunday was a- t'til I of pep
1 or as an enchilada. While the game
might have been belter, the assem
bled multitude had a good lime.
Probst is a real find. He play
like an old warllor-o and knows Ihe
fine point-. A little later and be
will be a classy kid.
All Ihe boy'- did well. Jackson
