alty to be paid by the subdued
ones.
The contestant)* were backed by
a crowd of boosters who exerted
themselves to see their favorite
team goose-egg their opponents,
but the score failed to materialize
that way. The official score, ac-
cording to W. Piggot, waa 18 to 3,
in favor of the single men.
The features of the game were
the battery work of both teams
and the long run made by Jeff
Harrold, of the single men. Mc-
Fadden went into the box in the
fifth for the married men. H.
Lansing, of the single team, was
caught asleep at the switch on
third and the umpire declared him
out. D. F. Filkins is manager for
the single men and B. E. Piggot is
manager for the go-cart fraternity.
It is understood the riptrack
crew and the switchmen are plan,
ning to organize teams with the
avowed intention of winning all
railroad games. One member of
the single men's team is alarmed
over the formidable proportion
