series between Colorado Springs and

two men.

an easy infield fly, he dropped it and
allowed the man to take his base.
The second error was made by John
son, giving the visitors two scores and
hit with one man on base made an
other score for the Zoos. This was in
the second inning.
In the third inning, after Ramey
had allowed two men to get on bases,
he,was taken out and Pratt was put
in to pull the game out of the hole.
Ramey had shown fine form and was
doing we'll in every respect excepting
that he was somewhat over nervous.

Three Years in Camp AIoft Restores

camp Aloft is the name Of a treeton

which D o. steinberger has lived for
three years. When he took thus literally
to the woods he was supposed TO be IN
the last stages of consumption. Physi-
clans gave him six months TO live. He
weighed only 10O pounds. and when he
crawled out to Colorado the doctors
there sent him home so that he wouldn't
die on their hands and swell the destb
rate. So Mr.. Steinberger-who had been
an artist before he became consump-
tive-got back TO Ohio and took his own
case in hand. He picked out a likely
white oak tree and established his resi-
dence in its upper branches seventy feet
from the ground.
