 It is very probable that opposed to Jess will be the great Moxie Manuel, the iron man of the south, and the won der of all ages. Moxie, however, has been cut of condition for the greater part of the season, and it may happen that the Barons will solve his saliva delivery.
 Another factor which will work against the great Moxie is the fact that today is not ladies' day. On ladies' day he is always hard to beat.

But he had death grip on the sphere that nothing save an earthquake could have unJolnted' Wooley's two stunts were of almost equal brilliance. Marcan, first up in the hrst, smashed to deep left. Wooley wobbled over the wild and wooley wilderness and caught it. In the fifth he did as much TOT Yantz. These bits of brilliance cut off hits ticketed for long voyages.
 The Barons had a fine opportunity in the ninth. It looked like a garrison fin ish! The Barons were determined to do or die They didn't die; neither did they "do." But they came pretty near 1t, And two were down when the fun start ed.
