parents have wise children, and SO on.
Now, my father has never met any of

only father and one other man was
against. Alonzo, that other man was
your father. My father now thinks
your father very wise person and de-

A look of determination came across

The Montgomery Browns lost
Sunday to the Renkles 10 to Z.
For the first time in eleven con-
secutive weeks Montgomery was
defeated. That's an awfully good
record to be whipped in such a
way as our boys were defeated
Sunday, but it's only another
story of the ways of baseball. Ev-
cry man in baseball has his OH
days and every man on the Mont
gomery team had an off day, at
the same time, Sunday.
Armstrong did the twirling for
the Montgomery's and didn't have
anything that he has displayed in
previous games. He was hit hard
and often which accounted, in a
great measure, for the boys going Z

But we can't expect them to win
every game.
