LITTLETON OUT 4-0
Warrenton warmed with sweet re
venge last Friday evening when it
broke through the Littleton defense
for a victory by a score of 4 to 0. It
was the first game the town had
won from the Littletonians in four
contests of the 'Summer.
Warrenton did not make a score
until the seventh, when, with two
away, Polk slapped a Fogl
owon of
fering for three bases, scoring xoyd
and Shearin. Polk came home on a
slow roller hit down the third base
line by Jones. Warrenton scored
again in the eighth when Clark, safe
on a hit, was brought home by a
healthy wallop by Loyd. .
Loyd pitched great ball and landed
twice' for safe hits.
