| Baseball with a capital letter and a
chrome was the kind last Saturday
plenty of II. The Sugar.cane League
ought to go through the season with
prosperous waistcoats II II keeps on
handing out such ball. To begin with
the Rams walloped the Males soundly,
to the tune Of to 2, which Is rubbing
IL in. Then the Elks and II. A. C.'s
proceeded to furnish thrills for the
space Of an hour and half, the thrills
getting bigger and better all the time,
until the final thrill when the cham
pions tied the score in the eighth and
the foxy Elks pulled II out Of the fire
in a whirlwind finish, 5 to 2. 1t was
this last game that made the most
comatose fan sit up and look interest
ed, and when the Elks slowed Louis
away at first for the last out there
ensued a scene Of Joy among Elk ad.

There was really nothing TO the first
game but an affable.looking gentleman
by the name of Reuter-. This gum.
chewer occupied the middle of the
arena, where the limelight could get
a good chance at him. and he was very
much In evidence. He kept looking
bigger and bigger to the Males as the
game progressed, and the ball kept get
ting smaller and smaller, till 1t looked
like the legislative appropriation for
teachers salaries. The Males never
had chance as long as Reuter- was
occupying the stall. He used all his
terrific speed, and showed that he could
mix 'em up like finished box artist.
Thirteen Of the disciples Of Joe Cohen
were retired on strikes. and Reuter-
really famed seventeen, but Jones had
hard work to hold the speedy Kan
and dropped several third strikes. En-
Gee, Bruins and Almos were the only
Males to find Reuter- safely. He GER
tainly deserves credit for Saturdays

hustle.
With Reuter- tanning man after man,
the Kan fielders did not have much
to do. Sheldon and Desha were the
lonly men to get assists in the infield,
and Desha got four of those. 1t was
simply case Of the ball going straight
into Jones' big NIT. Meanwhile the
Rams landed on young Freitas for
eight safeties. The youngster worked
hard, but his support is disheartening
and the batters are finding him rather
consistently.
The Kams got score in the first
and showed right there that they are
learning baseball of the real, winning
by-headwork kind. With one dowr
