A wa expected, the rossll team, which wa in excellent practice, won easily. Two Inning were played, the Fossitites scoring one goal each inning, making two goals to Condon's 0. It was lively game and greatly enjoyed by the large crowd of spectator. Notwithstanding the fact that Thanks giving wa one of the coldest day ever experienced at Condon, a tremendous crowd came out to attend the ball, for which 08 number were (old. Had the weather been a pleasant a it usually is the latter part of November, there I no doubt that at least 150 number would have been void.
