Eighty-eight and Ninety played a close though uninteresting game on Holmes Field yesterday. Ninety scored four runs in the first inning on hits by Slade, Sabine and McLeod. After this they could not seem to bunch their hits and so lost. Eighty-eight played a good fielding game and Austin pitched finely striking out men at critical points. Mr. Abbott, L.

There are certain papers...
