MARLIN TEAM REDEEMS ITSELF.
-----
Plays to Even With Mart---Will
Play Third.
-----

       The Marlin baseball team has redeemed itself from the inglorious defeat that it met at Mart two weeks ago.  The game was played Friday afternoon on the Marlin diamond.  From a professional standpoint the game was "nothing extra," still it showed some good work for amateurs.
       The team went into the game with a determination of winning.  The Mart boys put up some good work, but fell several scores short in the final cast up, the score standing 9 to 5 against them.
       The visitors issued a challenge to the local team for a third game and it was accepted.
       A feature of the visit of the Mart people was a ball given by Prof. Linebaugh at Bartlett park at night.  This was attended by a good crowd and the dance was indulged in for several hours.
