The game Tuesday afternoon was a
listless exhibition There was not so
much actual poor playing as general
lack of ginger The visitors could do
nothing at all with Gerlach outside the
fourth inning, when with nobody ont
and two men on bases Bent hit for a
home run. An error and two singles
preceding this had scored one, so the
total for the inning was four. At no
other time in the game were the Men
asha boys at all dangerous. The locals
accumulated their runs in four innings
beginning with two in the first After
Schuette had struck ont, w Torrison
waited and got himself passed to first,
Magnan, the temporary third baseman,
hit to short and forced TOrrison at sec

BASE BALL.
Shehoygan I, Manitowoc >.

Shehoygan 4, ManltOWoc :.
Sheboygan turned the tables ON us last
Sunday The game was played at the
Sheboygan ball park in dense fog.
Every time high fly was knocked ont,
the tielders had to go on an exploring ex-
petition to find the ball The mist was
SO thick that the outfielders could not be
seen from the players bench and the re-
suit of the game depended on which
team had the best guessers Both pitch
ers We're in good form, the rejuvenated
Willy Wolf having the best of the argu-
ment. Willy is certainly wonder. he
has been disrespectfully knocked around
ON several occasions by the Manitowoc
batters, but he has always hobbed up
again and succeeded in fooling them
nicely They could get no more than
five singles and one double off his deliv-
cry Sunday. Gerlach was found ten
times, on three occasions for two-bag-
ed mp affair, left field center field and
third base being filled by substitutes
and short stop by an outfelder Never
theless they succeeded in putting up n
much better fielding game than Sheboy-
gan
The chairmakers were the first to score
and won their game right there Uhl
opened the third inning by pushing out
a single. Gerls error advanced him a
base and placed P. Schils on first. Then
Bugden made al hit, Wolf was passed and
Liebl slammed double the net result
being four runs. Manitowoc wiggled
one man over the plate in their half
through Rolf two errors and w. Tor
risons one Dagger Neither side could
complete the circuit from this time on
until the ninth, though Gerlach got a
two-base hit in the seventh, being left
by Bryant's ont at first. Schuette also
gathered in a hit but no one could help
him home. For Sheboygan. ?. Schils
hit for two sacks with two gone in the
fourth, but the next man died at first.
Liebl's hit in the fifth was equally use
less as the next man retired the side by
striking out. In the seventh Bugden
and Bert Schils singled in succession but
good fielding closed out the inning with
both of them on the bases. Uhl opened
the ninth by striking ont, P, Schils wait
ed and got four bad ones, Bugden was
given Il lift by Schuettes error, b. Schils
few out to Oddly, and Wolf hit for two
bases, which with Oddy's error produced
two scores, Liebl made his third safe
hit Of the game and scored Wolf, and
Rolls ended matters by flying to T. Tor

saw her power was going, If not gone.
He had wrapped silk handkerchief
about the packet and still kept it, with
his watch and purse, beneath his pillow.
He would not tell her where it lay. She
smiled archly for the benefit of the at
tendant; but her eyes again eagerly
claimed look from his, her lips framed
the word tomorrow.
But neither on that morrow nor yet
the next day came her opportunity.
The gallant fellow who had lain there
for days, dumb and patient, but a bar
rier to her plans, had taken a turn for
the worse, and she was again denied adj
mission. Then came the tidings that
the barrier was removed, the long fight
| was over: and the heartless woman
actually rejoiced. Now at last she
could talk TO VIII Gray; and when mid
night came she knew that now at last
she must. for Frank Garrison, worn
and weary, returning late from the
front, briefly announced that Gen.
Drayton purposed visiting the hospital
the following afternoon. and long be-
fore noon-long before visiting hours,
in fact, she was there with flowers as
winsome as her smile, and some jelly
as dainty as her own fair hands. She
was there, and the instant the hour
sounded was ushered in. and Billy
Gray, propped on his pillows, was writ
ing 10 his father, and alone. No time
was to be lost. Any moment the at
tendant might return. She threw her
self on her knees beside the homely,
