ball had departed unto the plain Blockers

nearly reached his journeys end, but the
wise man, Spies, did beat the air.
Then came forth the saYant, VINO spoke III
a loud voice, saying:
Incline thine ear, oh my son, with mine
savings: wherefore swipest thou at Wild
pitches for he that obserYeth the wind

gates Of the ampitheater.
And IL came 10 pass that his disciples
lifted up their voices and wept and they
rent every one his mantle and sprinkled
dust upon his head. But he that was wise
unto the next generation spake unto them
that were of the four tallieS saying:
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth and
let not thine own hearts be glad when he Is
oyelthrown, for thou knOwest not at what
hour he may come back at thee.
Anu there was peace.

routine the baseball reporter was unable to
attend the game Yesterday. The horse and
fight editors were also engaged elsewhere,

was detailed TO take in the game. 1t is
apparent at a glance that the good man
made a sad mess II the job. However, he
is not up in baseball and, therefore, could
not be expected 10 turn out a thrilling tale.
