Monticello Was Easy For Company M Saturday.

The Monticello baseball team, composed of members from Company C of that city, met the local militia team at Riverside Park Saturday afternoon and were given a sound trouncing. The locals won, registering at the counting station 11 times, while only one pair of Monticello spikes were able to make the circuit. The locals hit heavily, Blue leading in the offense with four blows. Wilcox was behind the platter and Brouhard on the firing line. Brouhard retired after a few innings and gave one of his a chance to get a workout. Laban Wilcox was spiked during the game and forced to retire. , _ The locals will go to Monticello for a return game next Saturday, at which time only members of the militia company will be used, as Monticello has no outsiders in their lineup.
