do It because It is the worst PROPOSE
tion known for increase Of taxes for
the farmer and loss Of business for

to bat they not only overcame the
lead Of one run but added two more
for good measure, thereby ending the
scoring and winning the game.
1t will thus be seen that both
teams made balloon ascensions in the
opening chapters of the contest, but
settled down and played ball after
the third. While there were some dis
astrous errors made, the game was
characterized by heavy batting, turn
ing out to be a veritable swatfest. In
all, the number Of hits made was 20,
is of which were credited to Lori
mer's pets.
The trouble was caused by the lack
OF a pitcher and it is probable that
neither Anderson nor Cross will ap-
pear in the box again for either of the
teams. Taliaferro was also to the
bad yesterday, though his shortcom-
ings were probably due largely to the
cracked rib which he received by rea-
son of being hit with pitched ball.
Dean Makes Good.
Dean, who has been making good
at third, demonstrated that he is an
all around ball player by taking his
position on the center patch in the
third inning and effectually put
quietus on the visiting sluggers.
Ehmke, who finally relieved Ander-
son, the visiting twirler, also delivered
the goods, and 1t was with these two
men in the box that the remainder Of
the game was played in something
like league style,
Killilea was the only pitcher in uni
form on the grounds that was not
given a chance to wind up his arm.
He performed out in the left garden
and the way he pulled down appar-
emily safe hits with left hand jabs,
cts, caller forth sincere applause
from the galleries. His kittinish an
tics after making star play were al
so amusing.
The work of Houston and McAllis-
ter, the two rival second basemen,
was clever and would seem to indi-
cate that both will some day be trav-
cling in even faster company than
they are at present.
