Schwartz played a nice game at first,
although his escape from the conse-
QUences Of that thirteenth inning error
was marvelously lucky.
If Geier's errors helped to get the locals
in the hole, his batting certainly helped
to get them out Of 1t at the finish.
And, of course, you observed how Dan
Lally went at the ball, at the bat and in
the field alike.
1t was a wise drive that could find the
sod in that outfeld yesterday. no mat
ter which side was at bat. The ground
was never covered so well before.

his field toys and was glancing over the
accounts Of the game. Last year we were
in on a sheestring, and they told us it
was the war. That took up SO much space

get. Fine con, that, Ell? Now this year
they hand US the real barney. All full of
this Kipling, and the real sport can't
break in with half column cut every

Not by me, Rudyard. I don't get you at

I went down to the show last night and
