BY BILLY MAC.

Using the famous ash bat, rescued
at the risk of his life from the Mil
Waukee hotel fire, H. Middle Schaefer
broke up this keen struggle just Wnen
young Mr. Eugene Ford was begin
ming to look good to his saltwater
friends and Mr.. Watkins. Score TO 2.
AS Middle's home run drive over the
left field fence only knotted the score
c.. Chech deserves special mention for
the wallop against the right field net
ting that allowed Eddie Wheeler TO
score the winning tally.
Mr.. Watkins viewed the wind-up OF
this affair without displaying the least
bit of agitation. Having been with
the champions since they hit the road
the club owner has become thoroughly
interested in the wonderful record be-
ing built by his bunch Nine lost in a
row has aroused a reckless feeling in
Mr. Watkins and he is now anxious to
see the mark pushed up into the double
figures.
The wind-up proved a great disap-
pointment to young Mr.. Ford. on his
appearance here Eugene was worked
out of turn, and this unexpected shut
file Of the champs pitching staff pre-
vented his friends in Saltwater from
coming over in q delegation to cheer
their hero up This time Eugene Sc
cured his assignment in time and there
was a rush for the Saltwater cars.
Several members of the young mans
family also came out to see their rela-
tive perform. Eugene did the best
possible and Smeared four hits through
eight rounds, but Schaefer's Wallop in
the ninth lifted him from the dirt and
before he could place his feet again 1t
was all over
While Middle Schaefer and c. Chech
receive credit for this win in the OIL
cial report. Mr.. Liverpool also butts in
with claim of having helped out. Mr..
Liverpool calls attention to the fact
that there was nothing doing until he
grounded the lucky power of the
champions new colored mascot.
Discovering the kinky haired tot on
Mr.. Watkins knee, Mr.. Liverpool firm
Iy grasped his rabbits foot in his right
hand and walked a solemn parade
around the field. Mr.. Watkins rubbed
the kinky hair backward, but the evil
was done and the leader of the champs
sat helpless while Schaefer drove out
the drive that started the end.
AS the figures would tell this con-
test was another clash of the twirlers.
Aside from this finishing round the
Saints did little to E. Ford, and during
the game G. Chech screwed the cham
pions down to five safe swats. Two of
them were doubles, and the doubles
punched in the fourth round with
Schaefers boot gave the champs their
two runs.
J. Jones was the first man to get all
the way round the paths. James
opened the fourth with a belt for two
bags, and Woodruff sacrificed him to
third. Cy Coulter drove one at
Schaefer and Middle let it get through
Nm. J. Jones scored. Tamsett went
out Chech to E. Wheeler, but Marcan
hit to left for two bases and Coulter
scored.
The beginning of Ford's end started
in the seventh, when Schaefer tried to
knock down the carriage gate with a
mighty drive. Middle got to third
while Jones chased the ball around the
lumber piles. Higgins raped one to
the infield and Schaefer beat the throw
in. Flournoy hit to Marcan, but Tam
set dropped the throw to stop Higgins
at second. Wheeler hit to Tamsett
and Higgins was caught at the plate
