mon on tly catches, tho majority OF which we're
oxcoedingl gly difficult. All wore taken In that
easy and graceful style that dcnotesa thorough
outaeldor. Cuthbert in tho loft. played his po-
eition to perfection, exhibiting rare aiill aud
Judgment In folding out six mon on long lys.

cant to throw in tho ball whon It ohancoa his
way. aud 10 did not perform this duty my too
