The Nephi Ensign Cbmea oul with a "scare" heading several inches in depth, and an amount of sell glorification, and flourishing of trumpets to warrant those uiiinlormed in believemg that they were the undisputed champions ol the world since they had been able to beat the Chester nine, which by the way were not all there, and the bovs were obliged to fill in Willi others. The sporting Editor of the Ensign would hardly have pub Itshed the list of names if he had been posted on sporting mailers, and then inferred in-ferred that "S in Fete Downed" was the out-come. Many a time and oft Ihe San I'ele boys have "waxed it" to the Nopliites, both as base ballists and as maiksmen. and all they have had to do in the past when they wanted a good "drubbing" in any kind of sport, was to come over to Sail I'ele; and we are not piepared to yield our laurels now.
