Match in Swift Denton l-ads—But
Three Bagger Breaks the Tie.
The Freshmen class team de-
feated the High School team Mon-
day afternoon by a score of 2 to 1.
The score was a tie at the end of
the seventh inning, at which time
they had agreed to quit, hut it was
decided to play the tie olL No score
was made in the eighth inning. In
the ninth inning, two men went
down with Smith on third and Wain-
right at the hat. Two strikes were
called on the hatter. At that critical
moment Jones made the mistake of
giving him a strike; he lapped out
a three base hit, bringing Smith
in from third, which untied the
score. The game was exceptionally
clean.
