managed to rap out eleven hits during
the game. They were fortunate, too,
in punching them which accounts in
part for the large score
Bit mt High Curves.
No little amusement was caused by
one Of the visitors, Bowles. Elton had
Induced several of his predecessors to
bite at high in curves so often that
they began TO think they could see the
better 20 connect with the ball by leay-
ing their caps off. Bowles thought
that If taking off the cap could help
one to hit the ball. getting rid of his
shoes would help him along after he
had hit the ball, and so when next he
showed W at the bat his neither ex-
tremities were clad only in blue golf
stockings brilliantly barred with ce-:
risse circles. He raped the ball to
short. who missed It. and so allowed
him to flash his gaudy hosiery all the
way around the diamond to third,
where, alas. he came to grief, was put
out, and retired to resume his shoes.

the game WAS ae folIo,vS.
