Base Ball

At this writing. the MillerS are
heading the league, are playing
classy ball and are the delight Of
the city. Although the next nine
games, ahead of them are a hard
bunch, the fans have every con-
Q fidenee that the real players of
the State League will still head
the list when they have played.
They took three straight from
. Wellington last week. two out of
three from Ell Dorado, and at the
time of going to press, Thursday
afternoon, had taken the first
two Of the series with Hutchinson
on the latter's own grounds:
The only thing to mar the
pleasure of the last six games
played at home, was the awful
work OfaOne Buck Weaver, whom
we all thought at one time knew
something about the rules of the
game, but which later develop
ments show we were mistaken IN.
Of course the old fellow is in his
dOtage, and there, might have beer
a time when he was a player,
and knew something, but as his
second childhood has not yet ar
rived, although about due, he is
out of his class when handling
the Indicator. We feel sorry for
Buck, we always liked him and
hoped he would do well, but we
must, in order to retain our self
respect so far as base ball is con-
cerned, cut him off our list,
