The first game that we played was a rousing one against Kerman on the Kerman diamond. Kerman made a score of five runs in the first inning but for the rest of the nine, our boys held their score-making in check. The game ended with a score of 7 t0 2 in favor of Kerman. The third game which was against Clovis 0n the Tranquility diamond put our players in good spirits. Tranquillity made some excellent hits, Holmes knocking a left-field home run. At the end of the ninth inning the score read 7-3 in favor of Tranquillity. That ended the baseball season for Tranquillity, but our Victory has assured the boys of better returns next year.

Oh! the little, old log cabin, With the dirty, dirty floor; With the plaster all a-falling, And the crack behind the door. There was spent a lonely childhood, By a friend I love so well; With a dog as her companion, And a pony she called Nell. Now the cabin is deserted, How it happened you may guess; The dog and pony have departed, But wheres the little Miss? eOlga Boline, 22. T 40 T
