Hernice vs I Inshore crossed bats
|on the Dushore grounds Saturday,
and the drubbing that the Jierietc
predicted did not come the right side
lof the fence. Now we know that
Fred is a good foreteller of weather
forjudge on peppermint drops but
he can't tell a ball player when he
sees one. If he could he would nev
er predict a drubbing for our boys

Dushore team couldn't even catch a
cold if a ball player threw it at them.

tle cleared away the score stood 2,'l to
(i in favor of Hernice. That's the
drubbing they got.
