game by the score of rs. For a time
it looked rather bad for the home team
but just as soon as its members got
together and found Pete Lamprecht
there was nothing to it. The visitors
led at the end of the fourth by a score
of AZ, but the local bunch came back
strong and tied it up in the sixth and
put the game away on ice in the
eighth Dy clouting out five nice hits,
netting three runs, and the best the
Manchester outfit could do was to add
one in the ninth.
The anro1nd playing of the home
nine was good for the fans to look up
on. although several bad errors gave
them a chill now and then. Lazinsk

close of the game, and the visitors did
not take kindly to his left-handed de-
livery He was quick to take advan-

sharp throw to first and third He
was also strong with the stick. Eztat-
ing, however was the heavy swatter
of the day. securing three hits out of
five times UP. Lazinsk Hamel Burns
and Mclean were his nearest rivals
with two apiece 10 their credit. Crock
EFT and W. Robinson did the best
stickwork for the visitors although it
was Norlander's 1rive that brought
in two runs and he himself scored by
reason of the fact that Mclean failed
to cover third on Driscolrs pretty

The EIautist.

Those who may not know are hereby
informed that a "flautist' is a flutist,
or fluter, or player of a flYte. 1t can
not be surmised why anyone should
perfer to say "flautist,'' when the in
strnment is flute and "flutist' is
a perfectly good English word Pos
sibly it was used in this case for the
sake of clearness.
"Flautist'' seems to leave no doubt.
While flute might, for flute is not
only a musical instrument, but also
stop in an organ, ana anyone of
series of vertical, rounded grooves in
d column, and a groove made in wood.
or q curled effect in clotn or in a hat
brim. According to Noah Webster and
his successors. flute is also a long
French breakfast roll; or a tall, slen-
der wine glass: or a long shuttle used
in weaving tapestry; OF moulder's
tool for forming grooves. Perhaps
this statistical report referred to
'.flautists'' so there should be no pos
sibility of mistalling the reference as
applying to bakers, glass blowers, tap
estry weavers or carpenters.-Proyi-
