Shows Up Well.

one Mr.. Wilson and another Mr..
Peterson, two of Mr.. Joseph Cam
tillon's pitching proteges, were bonn
barded numerically to all corners of
the lot. The final score of 7 to 8.

his aggregation of pill chasers- The
White Sox Were in the lead at all
stages and the result was never even
questioned.
Sixteen hits in all were secured off
the Washington mound decorations
A few of these were singles and there
were many others. The hits came
thick and fast and whenever one was
needed to inject a little life into the
confab it was always forthcoming.

and proved an enigma to Cantillon'S
hopefuls. Three hits were secured
during his tenure of Office and no two
came in the same inning. He looks
good to Cooley. In fact, Sir Richard

Everyone at the present writing looks
pretty good to him.
As usual, the locals got started in
the first inning. With two down, Sir
Cyrus Landreth poked one over the
infield which landed him on second.
Mr.. Robert Kahi proved his ability
