 What Putnam needs k little in. side baseball. Joe Marcustry will gradually instill Il into them fl he re- mains on the team. Too much indi. vidual playing has been one of the Canadian < faults.
 iieinie Farley is the most unlueks hitter in the bunch. He seldom fails to hit the ball and has been robbed of many hit by spectacular tielding.

 Credit should be given the local boys for donating their services last Satur. day in order 10 help oat on ihe tinaa. eial end of the business. True, that Putnam is probably paying the largest salaries an the circuit, but nevertheless when the players volunteer to go with out their weekly stipend st shows m interest in the welfare of the game that k eommendable. lt IS safe to say that not many of the fans realized that they were watching semi- benefit game.

We say astonlshed himself be- cause he nearly stopped running down the base line thinking II was going to be caught.

 The visitors looked like run in the 9th, After two easy outs Emerson pumped one into Peloquin that he couldn't handle.
 Johnson missed Uugas' drive, and then there WAS double steal. Semino was up but the best he could do was an easy grounder to kenney which brought things to close.

Nothing Dared to Come Jee's Why.

The only thing the fans have on Joe is that he kicks teo much. That is tho only fault we ever heard fennai no one questions hls ability Whether the nam fans wouldn't stand for having the game broken Into every few min. utes or whether Joe has grown wiser ns he has grown older, we cannot say, but he certainly was on his good be haviof Saturday, and, even though he explained the team, made no noise and only appeared upon the diamond once, and that to see that aground rule Mas enforced, when Ii runner was entitled 10 base on an overthrow. Joe got two of our singles, but was too avariei. ous in running bases, trying te make ,hird on l4izotse's sacrifice in the 6th. He kept the team going, kept the coaching lines supplied, and is about the style man that the Colts need 10 get work out of them.
 George Johnson was al third and showed better than the previous week. He got long drive over center which netted three sacks, but the decision al third looked pretty close His only error was a hard drive which he let go through, but 1t landed good for pick up.
 The rest of the team WAS the same cid stand.bys, hul they wefc iiVeiter than usual and looked as II they would be heard from the rest of the season. Tatro fell down in his batting owing taa nice catch hy Muller that robbed him of hit in lhe 6th. lioalihan 's average might have been letter too, had Johnson scored en his fly to eens ter as he should have done iu the 9th.
 Although eleven hits were recorded against Btll Boucher there were several ol them of the scratch variety. X bit of hard luck came to fattNille when The third ball pitched took bound and hit Emerson iu the throat. For a minute 1t appeared AS though he would resume hts position but Inc be- gan la grow faint and finally had to ee carried from the grounds to nearby house. He was able to resume play In the oth and was given hearty greet ing when he did so.
 Putnam scored twice In the opener Marcustry singled to jeff and LiGotte hit through Semlno putting Joe on third. He scored on Tatro's out IA1olte came over oil Mafien's fly k center.

Chicago. July "a reward OF $500 is
