appointing. These two teams. who
were among the league leaders last
year. and of whom so much was ex-
pected this year. are now fighting for

neither they nor the recruits are max
ing anything like the showing which
was expected The team Is weak in
every department. To make bad mat
ters worse the fans have got out their
hammers. and this is greatly discour-
aging
The Fort Worth team is particularly
bad off for pitchers. None of the men
are in shape. Pitchers. who last year
won games steadily. are this year
losing them as regularly There has
also been some very ragged fielding
from the first The players are also
lacking their batting eyes. With this

it is hard to win games.

those kings ruled elsewhere than in
Syria, where the Pharaohs and their

All these four names have now been

Cappadocia that these kings were at
