denunciation of the umpire rang out
across the bleachers in the ninth inning

to chit it but get on anyway has
transferred his thought to whether the
football score against Wisconsin is GO

the Calgary chilblains discourage fur

and will stay there. Early IN the year
they looked like pennant winners, but
accidents and out-of-fOrm pitchers
fooled the fans, the manager and them
selves.
The Grand Finale.
The grand finale was with St, Paul,

performance. He had two innings of
the very punk brand, allowing nine
hits and six runs in these soirees. He
then steadied down, but the saints, with
the usual st. Paul policy OF taking all IN IN
sight, had acquired such lead that 1t
guson pitched the second game for the
Invaders and altho he had nothing but
his overworked spitball, he won the
game amid a shower of expectorat1on
that made many half glad the season
was over.

game and did not make more thar
