Gus Baumann was at the plate twice
yesterday and yet does not get credit

Barnes has lost one and won one

win If possible.

in the third Yesterday just when it
was needed. The boy wonder is round

team on their feet. 1t is said that the
exhibition games this spring were not
enough to keep the expenses down
and the directors are now planning
to use the park for amusement pur-
poses while the team is on the road
to pick up some of the required capital
