but then he always plays we'll and his
playing did not occasion as much
surprise as did DR.. Sweetland's error

DR.. Sweetland has been reported as an
old National Lacquer, having played
with the Philadelphia Giants and later
with the st. Louis Browns. Another
star performer was Wilkie. The way
Mr.. Wilkerson cracked the ball re-
minded one somewhat of the sound
made by COW pulling her foot out IF

that he could have hit the Y. M. C. A.
box artist as far as the coulee were it
not for the fact that the youngster was
putting English on the ball.
The final score showed slight bal
ance for the younger bunch and SO the
game was declared won by default.
