Won His Bet After "a Years.

Zack Snyder has Just wen a wager
made twenty years ago. In 1880 Snyder
and G. A. Mix decided that the spire OF
the Methodist Church In Byron, H.,
was insecure and would soon blow over
Mix bet Snyder that it would fall TO
the north. while Snyder held that it was
going over to the east. The result was
bet of box of cigars, and they clev-
erly planned to get the weeds in ad-
vance. They went to the store of 7. A.
Jewett and told him of the bet and that
the lcser would pay when IL was decided.
Jewett. not suspecting the terms of the
wager. turned over a box of cigars to
the pair and he has been waiting for
his money all these years. Last Tues
day the steeple succumbed to the fury
OF the storm that prevailed in that re-
gion, the structure tumblins over to the
east. and Mix. remembering his wager,
called en- Jewett and planled down the

up for this. however and pounded Sher-

was p to 4.
In the seventh inning Mckee, of the

Everett's chance two-bagger brought
him home. Avery drew a base on balls.
and Litz made coed with hot one to
short field and got his base, while Ever
ett romped home. Avery scored on an
error, and LitZ stole second. Then came
the surprise of the afternoon. Sher-
wood, who had not been doing any bet

lads. came UP, and after two wide ones
thrown to him waxed the leather near
the left field fence and scampered
around the four-bag circuit before the
ball was returned to the infield.
