Guthrie did something on Saturday
for which bomb should be thrown
into it's camp. After the fourth inning,
by which time the Senators were
hopelessly snagged, and after Hamil-
ton had been Knocked out of the box,
what did Red Downs, captain of the
team, do but walk off the field, letting
Tex Jones take the second station, and
sending Pitcher Quisser to play short
A few minutes later Mr.. Dalrymple
walked in from left field and Slim
Henderson went out to hold down his
job. That may be ball playing accord
ing to brush standards but it is not
the kind which the Western ass, assocla. :.
ton promised its patrons. What II
hopeless defeat did stare the Senators
in the face, was that any excuse for
them to throw the can into the air
and quit? The fans didn't like the
performance one bit Good baseball
can be furnished even though one
team IS beaten. There were still five
innings left when this wholesale de-
seruon took place. Almost 1000 peO-
pie had paid to see the contest and
though the heavy hitting of the White
Sox made it farce, they were willing
to stay and see the rest but the quit
ting of the Senators made them de
ert the grand stand and bIeacbers in
squads. Here is a chance for Shive-
ley to let go a broadside.
Five teams are tied for third place
in the American league. You don't
see that but once in thousand years
Sedalia did not get Bob Talbot of
St Louis. He was offered more to
play with the Woman's Magazine club
of st. Louis.
There is lots of discussion concern
ing who will be released by President
Sheard from the White Sox pitching
staff Williams, the new man, who re-
DOrted here on Sunday, is touted as a
star. He played in the Northern
league with Dunn Abbott and Brown
and they all say that he is remarka bly,
good stuff. Since it has been decreed
bv tbe movers that but four slab
artists will be retained, Carter, HOWE
or Hughes will have to 60 Tt is a
cinch that Alderman will be retained
He has made more than good SO
the yellow slip will have to be handed
to one of last years trio Carter mas
not had Il really good chance yet
while both Hughes and HOWE have
gotten away to the bad. Yet both are
good men and after they hit their pace
they can do business. The matter viii
be decided within a week or so. The
one that makes the poorest showing
within the next few days viii be the
unfortunate man. Who will he be?
The largest crowd last year was '2,O7O

or they will follow you. then am
saved. Goodby. old fellow. Give nv
love TO my wife II they should catch
me"
"Goodby. old man." the hare cried
back. and II / should be killed break
II 10 my wife gently"
'All right" shouted the fox. And he
rode straight on, while the hare turned
10 the left. riding along the creek.
When he looked back after few
minutes he saw that the dogs were
all following poor Mr. BuShytan and
were rapidly gaining on him. Mr.. Cot
tontail Longear stopped on a hill where
he could see the chase, and the tears
came into his eyes when all at once
he saw one OF the dogs jump up at
the bicycle. bite the fox in the leg and
pull! him 10 the ground. Then he saw
the whole pack jump on his friend. and
IN half minute the poor fox was
dead
The hare cried bitterly when he saw
this, for the fox had been very kind
10 him on their trip. and they had had
a good time together. lie was very
tired, but ne was still more afraid Of
the dogs, SO he got on his bicycle
again and rode ,lf as fast as he could
The wind blew his hat of. but he did
not stop 10 pick it up. I'd rather lose
my hat than my head" he said and
rode on.
IL took him two days and two nights
10 reach home, and when he at last
arrived he had high fever and had
TO stay I'm bed whole week
And he never again attempted TO go
around the world on his bicycle
