The Fourth OF July, the day which ]
brings an independent feeling 20 every !
man. woman and child, has come and
gone. and SO has one game of the
double header which was played at
Sportsman park yesterday afternoon.
The Hens finally succeeded, thanks
perhaps TO the spirit OF the day, in
breaking the bondage in which they
have been held for the past seven
games. and signed a little declaration
II independence Of their own, proving
The genuineness thereof and verifying
his intentions by wading knee deep
through Eckstone and the Mud Wal
lopers for the second game
They insist that their little declara-
lion, which, to tell the truth. is nought
but the box score Of the game is TO be
placed in a golden frame and hung |
with the other things OF its Kind which !
have gone 10 make up the history Of |
this our great country. IN their eyes |
it is as a. mountain and while talking |
II 1t they completely forget what hap
oened earlier in the day.
Lanes Fine Pitching.
Something did happen, though. It'll
was the little college pitcher, Lane.
With that dear little fifth wheel deliy
cry of his he administered to them the
incest little shut out imaginable. Three
selfish little hits were all they could
{ find him for and they were strung out
over three innings Two bases on balls
he gave them, as a sort of consolation
! prize, and then went on To goose egg

Other casualties befell the Hens,
Z more especially Manager Pitcher
! Harry Kubitz who appeared in the box

4 fifteen Of the fattest hits on record.

u French Got Puzzled
Yes, the first game was rich, rare
4 and racy 1t looked sinful to see the
way the Mud WALLPAPERS fell over each
