ball tossed from tfie top Of the Metro

700 feet from top TO bottom. The Wash

believed that he, as a resident Of this
city, would be better able to head
the local club.
Today's game between Washington

stuck 1t out. bowling in glee at the
slaughter OF the Dubuque Demon.

while ne performed. The final tally
was 6 10 ], for the Maps.
with two gone in the opening ses-

F.asterly's high peg. Cashlon ham
mered tho pill over Graney's head for
three corners, scoring Milan. Cunning
ham was too anxious to Kill the ball
and blazed three burrows in the moist
atmosphere.
Graney beat out r slow dTibble. but
perished stealing. Akers, disconnected
by Olson's flying bat, hurled his bunt
too high for Flynn. Jackson singled
to center and Olson died at third, Milan
TO Cunningham to Foster. Jackson
took second on the throw and died al
the plate when Dan Moeller seized Bir-
mlngham's single and heaved it on a
line to Williams.
