close yesterday afternoon. The Tigers
won as they pleased. shutting the Sen

the four games played.
Heavy banks of black clouds made
their appearance before the game start

stand and bleacher. torn by conflicting
emotions as to whether 1t was best to
seek shelter and save their buds or
stand by the ship and see the Senators
go down in defeat and once more bite
the dust.

another chance yesterday to demoa-
