Center defeated their anci-

day afternoon. At the end of
stated the seventh inning the “Rough-
riders” were two runs ahead
of Tenaha.
The game proved to be one
of the best contests that has
been played on the local dia-
mond this year.
Munnerlyn, Nicholson and
Woods again showed their ab-
ility in crossing up the batters.
A number of hits were gained
from the two pitchers ,but
they were well scattered. Pet-
ty, Christian and Parrish were
the batteries for Tenaha.
At the fifth inning Tenaha
was leading the locals by 5 to

until Center came to bat in the
sixth. The tide turned and
with the help of bunching sev-'

Tenaha bunch for three runs(
