Cleveland. Ohio. August 6:-Private

Two stories are current. One given out
by a soldier is 10 the effect that Private
Perkins was accidentally shot while fool

Wilson. who caught for the Changers,
worked like q Trojan and caught his

Hargrove did some brilliant fielding
and was responsible for two double
plays, one including an assist to the
home plate. When this Is said, all is
said. The remainder of the team
worked like rag men, and had the APP
