PLAYING BAILEY TEAM TODAY.
The Bonham league team met the
team from Bailey, Texas, on the local
diamond this afternoon in a game of
ball. The Bailey team is considered
one of the very strongest aggrega-
tions of amateur players in this part
of the state, and they always put up
a good game with whoever they match
a bout. Quite a number of the ad-
mirers of the Bailey team were in to
sec the game, and cheer the hoys from
their home town who were in the con-
test.
