GENEVA BOOSTERS LOSE GAME AT MONTPELIER SUNDAY AFTERNOON ♦- It took Montpelier to break the Boosters winning streak, and they did it before a record crowd at that place Sunday afternoon, tlic final score be ing 7 to 1. As a whole the game was a good exhibition of the great American sport, but for two costly errors the game would have ended in a 5 to 4 score still leaving Montpelier on the long end. But the breaks at the bat were in favor of the home boys as they turned 11 hits into 7 scores while the Boosters had to be satisfied with 4 runs although the} hit safely 10 times. Ferguson pitched one inning for the Boosters, he relieving Romine in the Bth inning. He pitched eleven ball; and retired the side with three strike outs. But with the score seven t< three against them, the Boosters man aged to squeeze another man across the plate in the ninth. This is the Boosters fifth game and their first defeat of the season. Ferguson, who showed wonderful stuff in the only inning that he was allowed to pitch, will be in the Booster lineup Wednesday afternoon in the game against the Kips of Fort Wayne which will be played at 2:45 at Geneva j in connection with the 4th of July I celebration there. He comes from i Flora, Ind., and has a spit ball which i few can manage. It is expected that Ihe will either start the game Wednesday or at least pitch a good share of it. Parker City will form the opposition at Geneva next Sunday.
