...Graves, Stiles and Ingram in their old-time form, there was little hope for the Elis. Nevertheless, the game was pretty close until the CRIMSON'S half of the ninth, when "Frozen" Isham, the blue twirler, lost his coolness.

But in addition there will be a reception, a concert, a buffet supper, and a dance,--surely enough to attract even those who hitherto have...
