It was the first game of the season be tween these two terms and the Hazel- ton fous figured that their girls would kind of redeem the town for the poor showing the base ball team had been nuiking. But the New Hazelton girls went through last seasou with hardly a win te thei credit, and they got dawn to business this year amd have hee: learning the grime, They have learnea a guod deal since Inst season, In fact they pnt apn very creditable showing, They played like old timers ond some of theem are not as hig as the bat they use, But they can hit the ball; they en run and they can stenl. bases like u professional. In the field they have Teaurned to catch and to stop @ ball and to get it back some place on the din- mond where dt will do most good.

New Hazelton scored in the first: ami was shut out in the second, but seared 8 runs in the 3rd, 3 in the 4th, 2 in the Gth, 3 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th, muk ing a total of 18 to 3 that Hazelton cot In the third inning Perry York had to quit pitching on account of his arm He did not dare trust to his field to help him out, as Spooner was able to do, Dinty Moore ‘took the mound and Denne went behind the bat.
