HILLSGROVE.
Ilillsgrove's Sullivan County
Champions added another game to
their string of victories when they
defeated the strong Monroe ton team
by the score of 'J to 3, at Islam!
Park, last Saturday evening.
The game was scheduled to come
off at 3 p. m. but a heavy thunder j
shower came up about that time and
delayed the game until after live
o'clock. The people were not easi
ly scared out though and when the
game started the best and biggest
crowd of the season was on hand.
Proctor Forksville ami Sones' Lum
ber Camps contributed generously.
Hillsgrove won the game in the
llrst inning when they scored K
runs on live hits, 5 passes, '2 wild
pitches and 2 errors. After that
inning Bullock wisely took to the
woods and Northup relieved him.
Northup pitched a good game, only
one" run and four hits were made
off him during the seven innings
he pitched. If he had went in at
the beginning no telling what might
have happened.
For Hillsgrove, Woodley pitched
a steady game and held the visitors
safe at all stages and the game was
never in danger.
Next Saturday, the 28th., Ralston
plays Hillsgrove at Hillsgrove.
This game promises to be the best
of the season, as each team has won
two games from the other and both
are playing the fastest l>all of their
career this season. Mintzer and
Thomas will be the battery for
Ralston, Woodley and Morris for
Hillsgrove, J. H. Bachle will um
pire. The game will be called at 2
p. m. sharp so the Ralston team
can take the 4 p. m. train home.

minutes the air was agitated good

the easiest live dollars she had e\er
earned.
