THE BALL GAME
The ball game at Imperial
ended with Imperial victorious.
The game was full of “pep” and
dash on each side, and until
the game was half over Stockton
was well in the lead. Imperial,
however, came out of the hole
and did some real nice work -
the score at the end of the game
showing 6—4 in favor of Impe-
rial.
The game was characterized
by good will on both sides and
all the boys came home feeling
good in spite of the fact that
they lost.
The Stockton players sav one
reason they lost the game was
because they got such a swell
‘feed’ at the Imperial Hotel, and
ate so much that they could not
play their best.
