NIlI'I.S.
1t was hot stuff.

Midland money was scarce, though it was
pay day" They hadn't seen Brown, don't
YOU know.
That ''cut-and-dried" kick of the Spatcs
brothers on Browns delivery materializcd
all o. X, though somehow they didn't win
out The umpres decided very justly that
Browns delivery was legal.
Manager Murphy had with him Il new
mascot who came near prccipitating Il
riot. The gentleman is one DIR. Adelsberg,
the clubs surgeon. Mr.. Murphy failed to
introduce him to any of the Park officials
He wore no ribbon, nor tag of any kind. not
even a red cap-to show who are what he
was. So when he took his place among the
players on the Midland side the policeman,
Mr.. Yates, requested him to go away back
and sit down" with the common people
This the doctor declined to do. He was
forcibly elected, though after the fracaS was
all over he returned and enjoyed the privi-
lcec of sitting in the very cIie of rcd-cap
society.
If Mr.. Murphy will insist on having his
mascots inside the lines with him. the privi-
them, or put ribbons of some kind on
them, or red caps, so we will know who
and what they are. This will in the future
eliminate all occasion for unpleasant affairs
of this kind.
The printing of manager billions let
ter of reply this week to the Midland
Press would make thisarticle too lengthy.

There are many who will disagree
with Keno concerning the scrapping
business and the Judgment of at least
one of the umpires.
Midland plays good ball; Midland is a
heavy, reliable hitter; Midland has a
firstclass pitcher, and when Midland adds
to these abilities IN umpire who can see
Midland success in every hair-breadth
situation, it is ii marvel when Midland
doesn't win.
The Midland Press speaks Of "the I'M
printable criticism" of itself by Keno, "
apparently approved by the JOURNAL. "
Erroneous presumption. Had it been at
all approved by the JOURNAL it would
have been printed. As the matter
stands, therefore, the JOURNAL believes
that both Keno" and the Press
are in debt to it for the wisest DISPOSE
ton of the matter. Keno knows the
JOURNAL esteems him highly and the
Press is lofty on the list of preferred
exchanges.
