BROOK DEFEATED COMPANY M

Clark Blew Ip in the Seventh and Visitors Took the Lead. ' A large crowd witnessed the ball game here Sunday afternoon between Company M and Brook, in .which the latter came out victorious by a score of 4 to 2, The soldiers were all vaccinated on Saturday for both smallpox and typhoid fever, and many sore arms kept their owners from entering the game, and the } team was filled with players about town. Howard Clark pitched for the locals and put such energy into the first seven innings that he was compelled to Quit the game and go home, remaining there until late Monday afternoon. At the end of the sixth inning Rensselaer was leading 2 to 1, when the visitors .began to pound Clark hard and turned the tables in such a manner as to cinch the game. The Company M mess fund will receive about $25 net as a result of the game. Nothing Is known as yet when the company will be called away, but it is thought will not be much before September 1.
