BASE BALL

hit Franklin, the only man he let walk
TO first. again filling the bases, with
only one down. Houser, however,
famed and Anthony rolled out to
Wenning. Nothing was still doing in
Ce!ina's half.
In the seventh, with two men gone,
Wagner, Pausch and Houser in sue
cession found Ellis for two-baggers,
scoring two more runs and putting the
visitors on the ordinarily safe sidy by
three runs before the third man was
retired.
Then it happened, and Old Man
Grump is still gazing at Haley S
comet McComb, the fleet footed little
backstop, got four balls, stole second
and went to third on a passed ball.
Burris hit to short and McCOmb scor-
ed, Burris being safe on the choice to
catch McComb, which failed. Burris
pilfered second on the first ball and
the second Myers sent to deep center.
1t fell IN pocket, but allowed Burris
to score. The next two men we're easy
outs at first.
Then it was tied. The Rabbit, first
up in the eighth, got hit in the ribs.
But it didn't hurt, and he stole second.
Newcomb singled. Mayer once more
struck out, and McCOmb flew out to
short. With two men gone the chances
looked bad, but Burris was the goods
and put clean single in left center,
the Rabbit scoring the tieing run.
Newcomb was racing home with the
winner and would have closed the
game but for Captain Ellis, who was
not able to locate the ball in the excite
ment of the big crowd in the tieing of
the score and held him at third, where
he finally expired.
Nothing was doing then until the
twelfth. In the tenth, however, the
slugging manager of the visitors, got a
clean Uwo-bagger to left field. He
went to second on an out and stole
third. With only one man down, he
then broke the heart of his men and
almost broke his neck trying to steal
home. But Celina's little backstop
was on guard and the slugger only got
part way. The next man struck out.
Then came the twelfth. Burris, first
up, famed. Myers done better, how
ever, and sent one out to the auditor
ium which netted him two bases, 1t
was then up to Betz, and he poked out
a hot one to short. Borman got on,
but il was so warm that he couldn't
make the throw to first good. 1t went
high and Myers trotted home with the
winner. Score:

of his earthly life was bereft of four
wives, all OF whom were buried In the
same lot, In his old age It became
necessary TO remove the remains TO
a new Cemetery This, he undertook
himself. but In the process the bones
became hopeIessly mixed. His New

him, under the painful circumstances,
to use the original headstones. so he
procured new ones, n Of which bore
the following inscription:
