The players We're affected by the
heat and by the fact that there was
nothing to be gained by all the exer-
ton. 1t would have been a better
idea to have played one of the post
poned games. Despite the poor play
ing. the game was well attended.
Thompson, the Emmanuel first base
man, managing the losers, put up his
| best game of the year. He was all
over the field, in several cases going
over into the second baseman's terri
| tory for balls. Thompson has not yet
commenced to hit, but when he does.
as ne undoubtedly will soon, he should
be the premier first base guardian in
the league.
Southland put up a new twirler yes
terday, a southpaw named Lawson.
While he had four runs scored off him
the first inning. he was on the mound,
they were due to errors. as not a hit
was made in that inning. He seemed
to have good curves and speed, but
was a little off on control. He will be
worked in a regular game in the near
future. and his advent will be looked
for with interest.
Coursey robbed himself of a sure
home run in the sixth. when. after
completing the circuit on his drive
over the right fielder's head, he was
called out for cutting third.
The fielding of Maupin in center
field for the winners was one of the
few features. Four put-outs and three
assists were all handled in great style,
two catches cutting off sure hits.

she lived close to the house il which
a church minister lived, he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning, and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
if they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold. SO
the servant asked: Are the eggs
fresh today, Janey? They do not
seem warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said: "Ou, ay, they're quite
fresh. only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning.
