After Kid Morgan had tossed out craw-
ford, Deal strolled. Moriarty whitfield

the young third sacker counted. Stan
age ended the inning by missing three.
Dubuc Starts Trouble.
Long Tom got his good and plenty In
the third frame, although he was aided
and abetted by Clyde Milan. Dubuc start

then Downie Bush singled to center. The
ball went through Milan. and Wild Bill

SECOND GAME

Wonderful Walter johnson was the
slab artist trotted out in the second
engagement Of the afternoon. and when
Ee-Yah saw Walter warming up he
sent for big George Mullin, late discard,
but later hero.
Mullin, although something like eighty
or ninety pounds over weight, ascended
the mound. and all he had was a prayer
and glove. George stalled through five
innings, the Climbers only getting three
hits. but likewise three taIlies. George
could not locate the plate. issuing five
passes, which. together with the afore-
mentioned bingles, counted for the runs.
johnson was touched for eight safe
ties. but was always master of the
Tigers at the critical moments Ty Cobb,
hitter extraordinary, after singing in
the fifth session. promptly went to sleep
and allowed johnson to toss him out to
Gandil This feat brought mighty cheers
from the multitude.

Manager Griffith expects to have
three or four youngsters at the
ball yard when the team returns
home again.
Manager Griffith has been tipped
off to several promising youngsters
in the South, and Jack Ryan will
look them over. Jack plans to get
in his togs and warm the boys up,
and in this way learn just how
much stuff the aspirants for the big
show possess.
Trip Tells Tale.
The trip of the Climbers around the
Western wheel OF the circuit will tend
to show whether the boys are able to
stand the gam or not. Many critics claim
that the club will not hold on to second
place during the present trip, but Man
ager Griffith figures differently. and
claims that his aggregation is likely to
return home in first place, instead Of in
second.
When 1t is taken into consideration that
the Climbers made their sensational dash
have played better ball on foreign dia-
monds. Grin may be right.
The Red SoX are bound to slump some
time, according to all the baseball dope.
and II may be that the Boston crew will
pick out this Western trip as the time.
Griff is figuring that the Beaneaters will
hit the toboggan for little while, and

assembly of Minnesota has been

the teaching of agriculture in the

has determined to educate its own
teachers for the work and with this
in mind has established department

Vincent asked for an interview with
Prof. A. V. Storm at the head of the
