was private, was terrific slugging contest,

even last night, with Oshkosh rather the
favorite in the pools. Hereafter flag will

The Minneapolis team, with good pitcher,
would distance anything in the league. in
spite of the miserable batting of some of it's
men. Its latest acquisition is Driscoll. O'Day,
Horan and Bates are all very poor batters.
