In the Y. NJ. o. game both men had

Of u. Collins" by the Chicago White

Comiskey took this step before he

collegian chance to show his worth
with the White Sox this spring.
Information from Chicago Is to the
effect that when Comiskey was ap-
prised of u. Collins" identity, he
wrote the st. Joe club informing II
that II there was any trouble about
signing Collins" to transfer him back
to Chicago, as he was anxious to give
him a trial with the White Sox.
Cunningham has had numerous OBJ

he told us, and wanted a bigger line

said, My two brothers-in-law have

toner the pleader is native boy who
is assigned to one or the other Of the
sides and is given a bamboo tube IN

person or party whom he represents,
When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed Of stream, and
by aid Of bamboo pole the heads OF
the two boys are submerged at the

they are enabled to remain under wa
ter for quite awhile after their natural
inclination would bring them to the

in and, releasing his hold Of the stake,
comes to the air. He is Immediately
seized. and the tube he holds is cast
aside. The other lad is led ashore, his
tube opened, and the document con-

the case.
