The much-talked-of game between
the Cream Puffs and the Lowneys was
played last Wednesday and proved in
teresting and instructive. The wealth
or was little warm for base running,
but no man on either side shirked
his duty if he was able tos hit the
ball. Each captain pitched the first
inning for his team. Captain JAG
OLSEN took his position in, the box
with an air of rigid determination.
As a pitcher Mr.. Jacobsen is very cool
headed. He has so little hair that
his head is always cool. He placed
his dependence on straightaway

Lowneys got five men over the plate

parently at this stage of the game
the Puffs had the advantage, but this
was not the case, for while they had
more runs, they were more tired from
running than the Lowneys. In the
next inning George Ellis took the boz
for the Lowneys. He pitched a good
