The crack Childress team, called
crack because all imported and well
chosen, came to Mangum and took
two games out of three last week.
This ties the score with Mangum. Our
fast fellows were in Childress the
week before and took two out of three
dowivthere. So now the score is tied,
each team having won three games
from the other.
Mangum has won mo(e merit for
holding our own against Childress
than for defeating any other team we
have played. Childress spends more
money and travels farther to get ball
players than most towns would for a
