love was in the box for the losers
while Churchill started for Clinton
but gave way to Holmes in the
fourtih. George Elliott hit a home
run for Clinton while, Boyle, Taman

the circuit. A good crowd was on
hand to witness the game.
The second game was played in
Clinton on Wednesday night, Clin
ton winning 16 to 12. This game
was a .good exhibition and showed a
complete reversal of form from the
first game. Gower started in the
box for the losers and gave way to
Sweetlove in the fourth. -Chuirchill
started for the winners and' was. re
placed by Jardine in the -fourth. Ta
man connected for a home run on
his first trip to the plate while Geo.
Elliott and Jack Elliott hit for the
circuit for the winners. Tulford did
the umpiring behind the plate. This
