addition to the hard luck handicap
which was smeared from start 10 An
Ash. and laid thickly over the raw
places. the Colts were stacked up
against bunch of batters who had
absolutely no consideration for the
feelings of the home team. The Bugs

That lusty youth Rickert started the

Rickert on second base and the goose

anything but advance Rlckert TO third
and give Hooker a chance to play TO
THE grandstand.
Hooker's behavior was plumb yul-

was necessary to put Rickert homo

SbN After the instructive and entertain
ing exhibition of the frst and second
innings, the rooters decided that it
was time to stop beating up children,
and called for baseball. But nothing
doing. Danville wanted to show the
real reason why the top of the pole
is covered with Bugs and in that
third Inning turned loose with MUIR
5Nderous intent.
With one outin this inning Morrissey
was careless enough to present Hooker
with a base on balls. No sooner had
Hooker settled down for good rest
