Maying and poems mixed with odd notes in a chaotic page

Hawks Nab First Day Safe. Raucous Cedar Falls Tilt Recap
The Hawks' Nest Spot Grant impressed at shortstop on his first baseball day since fall, homering through a fence hole amid a tedious Cedar Falls clash. Judge Rigsby injected comedy while fans razzed him for a strikeout as Nettenbe Midmegrea and Crotty walked 10, but Hawks received none. Krotty fared better than his mates as tutors failed to hit in three innings. Rock Island fans welcome a new team next Wednesday with Walter A. Rosenfield as toastmaster and Percy Gray among speakers. Mason City sees Simm Grint take charge of the Howers. Martin of Ames signs for a pra game with the army.
