That was some game in Port

that goes In to the ninth with a

score would indicate. The real
excitement came in the last canto

was a hard game for the Pippins
to lose. Young Mr.. Lamline
whom his mates endearingIy term
"Lammy," pitched nice ball, al
though inclined a little to wild
ness. Holm retired In favor OF
the veteran Willis in the fourth.

business.

much Is certain today, following
a conference between the fighters
on one side and the ministers, ves-
trymen and few business men on

to be good at debate, and put some
questions to the church people
concerning the boxing game that
remain unanswered yet, but his
opponents had the law on their
side and held firm.

posed bout may be pulled off

After one of day-one day of
rest-the Tigers continued mer-
rily on the climb to pennant-
Vile yesterday. So small a thing
as a pack of Dugdale Giants head
ed by big chief named Skeels
could hardly be considered in the
light OF an obstacle in the path,
and our heroes continued on go
ing up, up, up. Mr.. Blaine Cor
don had everything a pitcher could
desire, both on the ball and in
gilt-edged support. He held the
Giants to seven hits, while the
Tigers were hopping all over Mr..
Skeels for some three more.
Score 8 to 3.
There were no particular fea-
lures to yesterdays pastime. The
Tigers played errorless ball, and
they played it in rings, all around
the Giants. who were shown up to
the tune of five glaring bungles.
Play "SmiIeless" Ball.
Not a player smiled during the
game-or IL they did Umpire Nc
Carthy missed the play. 1t is
whispered that Bill Fisher, when
he knocked that homer, stopped
on first and turned his back to the
umpire long enough to indulge in
one or two chuckles, but this can
not be vouched for. One thing
Is certain and that is that Mike
Lynch never allowed his stern
countenance to relax. Every time
he felt an inclination to smile he
thought of the humiliation he suf-
ferred the day before, and all be-
cause he smiled at the umpire. II
is reported In Seattle that McCar-
thy has received a flattering offer
to introduce smileless ball in one
of the big leagues next year.
Goodbye, Mac. OF course we shall
miss you, but we shall try and
worry along somehow, especially
IL we have Steve Kane left.

Brashear's Homer wins Game

Wattelet, Householder, Raymer
& Co. might have won that game
with the Beavers yesterday If 1t
hadn't been for that home run
drive of Kitty Brashear in the
third inning. And 1t was a real
homer, too, because Dugdale is
the only magnate in the league
that maintains a cracker box.
Kitty's wallop came when the
bags were full. and with the kind
of pitching both teams were up
against it settled the game right
there. Starkell pitched mastery
ball, excepting the issuing OF too
many passes, and the Islanders
played nice ball behind him.
Wand made couple OF bungles
at short but Wattelet has short
stop on the way, and with that
hole plugged the Islanders will
look so per cent better.

the bloody head of the dying boy be

the two kicked the body under the bed
and it laid there until they keyed up
the courage to bury it in its shallow
grave "a hours later.
The woman said: Harry Harding

nothing for me. We continued in this
relationship for some time, but finally

was near to hear me, and Merkle made
me keep quiet. He was scared TOO.
Finally we took the bodY-l don't
think he was dead yet-and put it
under the bed Then we sat down and
waited. Both of us were trembling
and We did not have strength enough to
do anything. Finally We began to re-.
cover ourselves and We had to decide
what TO do with the body. The garden
was the first thing to come into our
minds, and Merkle went out and
scouped out a hole in the garden i'll the

out and buried it..
