west of Falls Citv which is lined
by a row of walnut trees. The

that's the secret. But beneath
the shade of the walnuts stood a
silent motor car, its lights turned
10 the cornfeld making its green
leaves pale and unreal IN the
glare. The front seat was un-
occupied while the rear seat was
in the shadow. Another car on
its way from the Auburn ball
game came gliding down the
road way and stopped by the
silent motor.
What's the trouble" anxiouSly
inquired the driver of the second
car.
No trouble you neut" replied a
voice from the rear seat, drive

Honk. honk, said the horn,
which means go ahead. The
home bound car glided on its way
to the city. The lights of the
silent car still shone on the corn
blades. The steering wheel was
neglected, for steering wheels are
a nuisance anyway says the
young fellows-and what the
young fellows say must be true.

ODD GAME OURS
AUBURN ONCE MORE SUFFERS
DEFEAT
The Game Proved an Interesting
One Throughout With Final
Result of S to

The ball game at Auburn last
Friday was probably one of the
most exciting games in which our
boys have participated this season.
Notwithstanding that Falls City
took the lead in the first inning
and maintained it to the end, the
game was constantly in doubt and
the tention was not removed until
Heck ran into right field and
caught the last man out. The
ideal feature Of the game was the
roofing of the Auburn fans. A
Falls City crowd is as silent as the
dead compared to an Auburn
bunch. A magaphone chorus ex-
tending IN line four deep from
first to third base, split the air
when the teams took their places
in the first inning, and every
member of the chorus searched
his soul for sounds to rattle our
boys, but there was nothing doing.
The team worked together both in
the field and at bat. Glare Eos ter
played especially brilliantly, some
of his stops brought even the Au-
burn rooters to their feet. Kelsey
pitched his usual reliable game
and outside of a few lucky hits in
the seventh inning, Auburn could
not locate him at all.
Paris, the negro from Tecumseh,
pitched the first two innings for
Auburn, when he was stabbed and
the Indian with the dutch name,
Kratzberg, was substituted. Geo.
Segrist umpired with acknowl-
edged fairness, as be always does.

man around with a hard smash on
the ground and beat it out. Po-
teet bunted safely down the third
baseline, Foster taking second.

looked for Poteet to try to score
on the catch, but Tommy made no
such effort. The fielder then
threw the ball to second and Tom
struck out for home. When the

and turned around to see why the
crowd was yelling, Tom was cross
