Printers Is. erroneous. Linthicum is not
in Washington. and his brother stated

much TO ger the big fellow.

Mystery surrounds the game between
the Marquette and Independence Leagues
which was slated to be the feature of
the Fourth of July celebration last Mon
day The game did not take place and
no definite reason has so far been adj
vanced for the sudden calling or OF
hostilities. Unoflcially. each league Is
accusing the other of getting cold feet

Ike those two old rivals are going 10
fight 1t out, after all st. Martins and
ST. Pauis, natural rivals and both good
teams, are closely punched with Man

something doing on the card for the rest
of the season on the hilltop. The game

persons. II is estimated, and prepara-
tons are being made to accommodate
them as well as possible. The game wifi

orally known as a good fellow. but he
slipped cog in the wheel when he put
enc Of the 6. P. o. men out of the game
last week for making an exclamation

is lots of hot air talk at the meetings
about strengthening. sc, and helping the
team that's down, Fine talk. this. but
listen. Woods called a strike on the G..
=. o. catcher which was plainly a ball
and the little fellow was so surprised
he failed 70 say excuse me" before ad-
dressing his 'nibs.' and Wood put HIM
out of the game without further eere-
mony- In the first place. Woods made a
mistake on the ball. calling it a strike
when it was too low: and, secondly, |
whatever the G. p. o. baclstop said, 1t |
was inaudible to any one but the umpire
and no harm was done, and, last of all, |
G. P. o. needed its catcher to win that
game, dod CAST It ALL and Woods had to /
spoil everything by getting mad.
