CITY BOYS VS. GRATON BOYS ON THE BALL FIELD

The Graton baseball team management won the toss over the locals in deciding the scene of the third and deciding game of the series between the Sebastopol and Graton teams, which will be played next Sunday, on the Graton diamond.

“That choice of grounds is the only thing the Gratons will win” according to the predictions of Manager Rapelyea and members of the Sebastopol team.  They state that Sunday is going to be an unlucky day for the Graton outfit.  Sebastopol has to eat a little crow, as Graton won two out of three of those games.  The next games will be played in Sebastopol since the lot at Graton has been transformed into a fruit drying yard.

The last game was one of the best of the year, and should have been a victory for the locals who played better ball than their opponents, except for errors in one inning which cost them the game by a 6-3 score.  Two more games were scheduled with the Gratons, but the win gave them three out of four games played and won the five game series.
