The game tq be plaved here last
Friday. Mav 1. was called off by
Jefferson, but a substitute of that
game was scheduled for May H. A

The first game,
one at Jefferson, was a decided de­
feat for the SHS boys. 14 to 4,while
the second game had a score of 3 to
2 in Scio's favor. A marked im­
provement on "our gang’s” part was
evidenced, and if the good work

be marked.
