BAKERS HIT STRUCK WOMAN.
But She Stayed Game Out and Hopes
to Go Again.

New York, Oct. 23.-Fans: The great
mystery of what became of the ball upon
which Baker slugged his home run in the
fatal ninth on Tuesday and tied the score
has been solved.
In the Brush stadium on Tuesday oc-
cupying a seat in the eight row on the
projection of a line drawn through home
and first, sat Mrs. Charles F. Hunt. Her
husband, DR.. Hunt, is physician to the
Yankees.
With DR.. and Mrs. Hunt were another
man and his wife. All were intent upon
the play When Baker let. go, with d
line drive some one got up in his seat
ahead of Mrs. Hunt and she could not
follow the course Of the ball. The man
was apparently trying to catch it.
Then as Mrs. Hunt sat still the ball
flattened the left side of her felt hat as
its impact shook her head with a blow
on the left temple. Mrs. Hunts head
who was sitting two seats away, hurried
to her.
IT feel a little dizzy, but I'll be all right
in a moment, she said pluckily.
4 feel so hyste-ical," she told DR..
Hunt, that if 1 try to go out I'm afraid

While big bump slowly raised itself
upon the young woman'S left temple. she
sat through the game her husbands
finger upon her pulse, and commented
as any enthusiast does upon the play.
After the Athletics had won Mrs. Hunt

start home. That night she was in bed

hopes to be able to see the other games

points. Nebraska was saved a shutout
in the last three minutes of play when

The Cornhuskers displayed great de-
fensive ability. Three times in the first
ten minutes of play Minnesota had the
ball within the Nebraska 5-yard line
and the Gopher roOters were wild with
enthusiasm over the prospect of an
early score. But once the -Gophers
fumbled when a score looked sure and
twice the men from the corn husking
country held them on downs when a
foot more would have petted the
touchdown. After getting the ball out
of danger the Cornhusl1er backs be-
gan to do SOmei running. Warner
flipped some clever forward passes
with either hand ahd two Franks mad e
spectacular gains. Both Nebraska
ends played great football in this first
half and Chauner lived up to his rep
utation as one of the very best flank
guardians in the entire west. But Ne
braska didn't get near enough to the
coveted touchdown to cause consterna-
ton among the Minnesota rooters
When within striking distance they
orce held for downs and another time
lost the ball by tumble.

first letter was little more than a

use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more. -
