THE WORST YET

Whoever is responsible for the
financial management OF North.
western league baseball in this
city Allied the error column full on
the double-header project yester-
day. Two games in close success
sion had been announced, but moth
ing said about collecting double
fees. The park management
Wolf must be guilty-figured that
the fans would get up after the
iirst game, turn around and pay
their way right back in again.
When they naturally declined to
do so, In the way of playing even
on what they have had to suffer
during the past week, another
brilliant stroke was attempted in
sending the players through the
stand and bleachers, hat in hand.
Get mental photo of the bunch
in a stunt like that. The boys
themselves got the picture early
and quit. It's bad enough to see
them lose games at this stage with

The first game started at 3
O'Clock and lasted until nearly 5.
When oily bakers dozen or so
started for home, the lad who does

Nothing doing. Everyone sat

were unanimous and sizzling. The

ment? The games have been pa

fans are treated to two games for
one admission as sort of mark
of appreciation. But yesterday that
big crowd looked mighty good and
possibly it was figured that If half
of the fans would stand for stick
up the management would be a
thousand or so to the good.
When the scheme failed Chas.
Wolf, president of the company,
got ''real angry" and ordered the
band released to get even. The
band, by the way, wasn't hardly
noticed anyway. A ball fan
wouldn't notice bank run when

MACHINE SOLVES ONE

Twelve boys and the mechanical
