The wonderful string Of victories
has been broken: Willie Prough, the
phenom OF the Central Association
succumbed to defeat before the pep
perry Berte and the mighty O'Hearn;
but cross out the damage done by the
first five men at bat for Jacksonville
and the contest would have been one
OF the best Of the season. In the first
session OF this otherwise gentle past
time Jacksonville raped out victory,
the score being 4 to 4. Old Pop"
Yeager officiated with honors with the
indicator.
But that initial inning is fearful
one to relate and was an awful pill

fcal stage of the baseball season. In
that one round the opposing pale fac.
es marched from their tepees to the
plate and the first five did the sting
ing work that crushed the home team
before about five hundred fans and
fanettes.

Prough chalked up several times
from his right hip pocket. but it was
not until the sixth man came to bal
that the stormy seance was brought
to mild halt. In this disastrous in
ming Morris was the first man to ba

the first corner. Berte failed to make

Oyler pulled off his star catch in
the fourth inning when O'Hearn hit a
high one over Oyler's head with man
on first. The ball looked good, but the
second baseman made great spring
after careful poise and gathered in
the ball with his gloved hand. The
applause was generous after the bril-
liant play.

Oyler had on his aerial foot wear and

the scoring started. Jasper the left

Umpire Gleason is very laxative
fellow and III the course OF con-
versation with him yesterday Gate
City reporter learned that last year
he umpired In the coast league, which

are very few leagues In class G that
compares with it. Magee, the FORM
er second basemRn of the Waterloo
team and now playing with Seattle, is
setting that league on IRE at first
base he says. He Is also batting at q
three hundred clip and Is due to join

Word has reached the Central AS
ISOLATION that Dugdale, of the Seattle
Club, will purchase Pennington Of

playing bali IN the Central Association
for several years and while he is not
regarded as star by fans he would
| make good In better company. Pen
nington is quite an old player and has
ia way about him that has made him
somewhat unpopular around the cir
cult. The best thing that could be
ldone would be for him to 90 to another
league. where fans would appreciate
his work.

man, she is expected not only to
chose him, but to get him and keep
him.
If the young man let's the quality
of your home or the neighborhood
where you live influence him, then
he's not the man who will "cleave
to you in sickness and in health I'M
til death do you part" You can find
out by inviting him to your home.
