A list of recommendations made by Mr. Clevenger will be found in the next issue of this pftpat. The high school nine weife4ak«n into camp by the strong covntjr seat nine on Tuesday, altho keeping the visitors to a 4-4 score until the ftftk inning, when J. Pluvius invoked the wrath of Providence upon tke squad, which soon proved that Woodstock must have the long end of tke score.' The battery proved itself far. superior to the visiting battery in that no walks were tendered to the visitors thruout the games, whereas one or more were given each inning by the visitors. Errors were frequently made on both sides and proved that the boys need a lot of practice. In spite of the fact that the boys showed several weaknesses, let's not down them too severely, for they are not playing as professionals or veterans, but beginners. The boys were grateful for the support given. LET'S KEEP IT UP. Friday was visiting day for the eighth grade pupils from the country schools.
