A game of base ball was played
at the Hill grounds Sunday after
noon between the Montavilla team
and the locals, resulting in a vic

to 7, Owing to the" fact that only
four of the regular local club made
their apearaiice on the grounds, a
badly patched up nine was lined up
to represent St. Johns. This, to
gether with the miserable exhibi
tion of a Montavilla man who es
sayed to do the umpiring, was the
cause of the locals' undoing. As
their opK)iients refused to play un
less the Montavilla man presided,
the home team submitted. Had
the full team been 011 hand the lo
cals would have had a pudding.

from the start. There was not a
moment of idleness and neither re
laxed their vigilance until the end.
Considering their field the scores of
these young ladies were the best of
them all. The happy ending of the
contest is that both secured the prize
they were after.
