him and signed him Tor the T6wTsends- In
his first game against the Omaha Grain
exchange team he let them down without
hit and the run column consisted Of
blanks. He made a wonderful record that
season and has continued TO hold the heavy
olubbers in and around Omaha on bis list
He left the Townsends to Join the Benson
birds where a few rollers per Sunday
served as an incentive for him to work
Later, however he swung back to the
Townsends, then to the StorE Triumphs
where he is today Last year with the
rriumphs at his back he only dropped three
games and this season finds him with a
perfect record. In every game he psrtioi-
pated in for the brewers they have always
walked off with the goods. This season he
has surprised his teammates by poklng the
horsehide for a good batting average As
a general rule beavers are weak with the
bludgeon, but he has remedied this defect
so now on his farewell day he stands a
peer among the Omaha amateurs. II is a
safe bet that Bruggeman will be on the ele-
waited next spring for the leading team Of
Des Moines, which Is incidentally a brewery
aggregation. the Ola Taverns OF course
as 1t is impossible for Bruggeman to give
the farewell shake to all his numerous
friends he wishes by this method to thank
them one and all for their courteous treat
ment, and also to assure them that IL they
ever drop into Des Moines they will always
find him willing to show them a good time
He bids you all goodbye and wishes all
the boys a prosperous season when the
curtain again goes up.
