Editor Tribune We notice that
the members of the Mineral Point
base ball club are claiming the game
they played with the Linden club on
the 18th. They have no claim on
this game whatever, and all tales to
that effect are simply bluffs put up
to make the Mineral Point citizens
believe that they have 1.-THE only high
school base ball club this side of

When they saw that the game was
lost they tried to hide their sorrow
by disputing the umpire's decisions
and quitting the game. They did
not seem to realize that this forfeit
cd the game to Linden by score of
9to0 0. Their managers remark, "If
this game doesn't go exactly right
we'll quit it," shows that they had
determined beforehand what to do
in case OF Il break. A WITNESS.

Nothing. You can't. You're stuck on

first and then spend your money
with home concerns who are here at
all times to make good If the
goods sold you are not right in every
particular. You know your own
dealer. If he sells you unsatisfactory
merchandise, which very seldom oc-
ours, he himself is as badly fooled on
it as you are and he will, ninety-nine
times out OF a hundred, make it up to
you and a little more besides. He
