into those stony hearts? Crash Rube
Oldring had driven the poor abused pei
let far to left field, and he rushed
around to third like a bill collector after
an escaing victim. Thomas and Hogan
were too fast for him, though, getting
home while he was held on third.
Yes, that was all. What did the Ma
tionals do? Well, I'll tell you, 1t was
like this. Three men got into boat,

woe is me, that's all the Nationals did.
Only one of them touched third, Her

but Norman Elberfeld and Herman
Schaefer are also ia the charmed crowd

them. They are last when it comes to
long hits. having nineteeT doubles, five
triples, and no hOmers. Detroit and
the Athletics are the far flung wallop-

by John Henry in Atlanta shelved the
PLAN Now that Henry and Somerlot
have failed to produce the swatting
goods demanded, Gessler Is to be placed
on the bag
Gessler practiced at first base this
morning. and seemed able to scoop
up the low ones in pretty good style.
However, it will take several days for
him to acquire smoothness in his
work.
Mack Here Monday.
Manager Pro Tenn. Harry Davis, Of
the Athletics. has heard from Connie
Mack, and the latter will arrive here
Monday, ready to accompany his team
to st. Louis, where they open a four
game series on Wednesday.
Connie has had a severe cold" ex-
plains Davis, "and IT might have led

Pleased With Lelivelt.
Manager McAIeer is well pleased with
the improved playing of Jack Lelive!t.
The Chicago boy has begun to hit the
ball. and his fielding in the right corner
is all that is wanted.
Il feel that Jack viii be there in right
field this season" said Jimmy McAleer
today. He fields more naturally there
than anywhere else on the team, ard
safely, I'll need him. As it is, he hits
the ball hard. but can't quite keep 1t
away from the fielders."
McAleer's "Tiring" Ride.
Five bursted tires inside of an hour
is the sad tale told today by Jimmy Nc
AIeer. He went for a ride in motor
car last night, and had gone about four
miles when tire went by the board.
The substitute then did likewise.
We telephoned for another car" says
the Nationals boss. 1T came and took
us half a mile before another tire went
up. A second substitute did likewise,
and we started riding back on the fiat

of the machine blew out.

Kaufman out of il.

Although 1 was never great be-
lever in the prowess of Al Kaufman,
who was being touted as a white mans
hope, that beating he received at the
hands of Jim Flynn at Kansas City
last night comes as a big surprise.
Not only did Flynn score a clean-cut
knock out in the tenth inning. but ne
gave Kaufman such sound trouncing
that few will now consider the defeated
man as a dangerous rival for the hon.
ors held by Jack johnson.
Kaufman had an advantage of more
than thirty pounds. but at that he re-
ceived what was probably the worst
beating of his career.

Our BAND Goes to Poor HOUSE

Sunday afternoon, the Observer heard
the martial tramp of feet heading out
of the city in northessterly direction
and, on closer approach, was astonished
to find IL was our own Third Regiment
band. Surmising from the direction of
march and detected expression on the
faces of the company that all was not
we'll with them, we made anxious in
quiry concerning the exodus and were
sorrowfully informed that, owing to
the refusal of the city council to grant
their petition for monthly appropria-
tion and because of heavy Indebtedness,
they had been crushsd by the task of
keeping in clear financial waters and
were enroute (also Sout) 70 take up
permanent quarters with G. w. POWELL
at the county farm. We--were filled
with deep sorrow that this meritorious
organization, which has brought such
goodly fame to Viroqua, should thus
perish from want OF appreciation, and
were greatlyrelieyed and gratified when,
in the late hours of the afternoon, we
saw them returning. After RECALLING
the unfortunates with much tuneful
harmony, they once again took heart
and resolved to bear the cruel shafts of
lack-lustre appreciation and meager re-
set few days more. Let
this, however, be warning to our
citizens and city fathers to lend coop
GRAFTON and financial assistance that the
day Of their demise be dispelled before
