We are now the Skyscrapers.
For days we have poised in the blue
above. across which the white clouds
trail their snowy lengths like dreams
across the breast of love.
Yes, sir we are up in the air, and
those young gentlemen with the
crimson calves have hidden the key
to the score cupboard from us.
That was another sad affair yester-
day Mull's Minions spoke in whis-
pers and trod lightly, and often
times with uncertainty. They were
treading on clouds. and there was yet
grief palsy in their limbs.
At crucial stages when Mr.. Quinn
seemed to be exercising the human
weakness of erring. Null was silently
forgiving. diplomatic note had been
handed him at the gate and this might
have had the effect of forcing his
barber below zero. He was not the
same fearless big chief who has fought
his way to victory in many games
while up against the odd forces.
The hit units were scarce enough on
both sides, but of the bakers dozen
aggregated the Pathfinders got the
odd. But simple little errors were
punched Just as the Tigers were mac
ing Mr.. Thatcher for base annexors,
and we had to bring home the same
old story.

Ia a. g.
Mr.. Thatcher. long schooled in the art
of baseball jockeying, lost a wrap in
the first false break and the selling
platers were away to a flying start.
Mr.. Thatcher could not find the
groove right away, and passed. Mr.
Akers Mullaneyward before he finally
settled to serving negotiable ones.
Jimmy Kuhn dumped one down and
Akers was off with danger signals
hoisted. Craft. Mike Hempleman's
successor, shaped up the play right by
covering the first bag while Null prong
ed the lolllng sphere, and with perfect
assurance tossed it to his fellow crafts
man.
No one knew he done it till he did
it," He actually dropped the ball. Den
ny Shea stabbed one lightly toward
Thatcher, but the thing refused

of visitors. Gunter was easily disposed
of when he swung one out in right. but
Mr.. Carlton Busse twole his mustachio
three lucky twirls and grasped the
lamrod for a crushing swing that sent
the five ounces of composition bounding
into center field. Akers and Kuhn did
the fast work for the glad gum. Jimmy
scaling the wall just as Ray made a
long range shot at him from out near
the central parapet. All this was done
before they were finally sent to the
field.
Full of Hope, Not Dope.
We were full of hope when Shrimp
Comet faced big Dan Burt and essay

wide ones over, then laced one in the
face. II came very near taking Mr..
Comet off his bearings, but he grip

Pretty Double Play.
After the excitement Of this one tall

going to be pulled off. In the fifth j,
Kennedy, Mullaney and Oyler pulled
off one of the rarest diamond pictures
yet seen here, executing double IN

Shea was safe on Thatcher's error.
Gunter hunted to Kennedy, who made

Shea overran second, and before he
could recover Null had sent the
sphere to Oyler. who outsprinted the
big catcher down the line and tagged
