Too much heated, humid atmos-

bowlers from the bowling alleys last
night to seek cooler, breezier spots,
and as a result, the Colts and indie
pendents, scheduled to bowl against
each other, did the Alphonse and
CASTOR act-permit me to hand you
three games, my dear William; no
Arthur, my love, you must allow me
to give you the three games
through their captains, Arthur Salz-
mann and William Huston. Finally,
ii was decided that the games should
count naught in the percentage col
umn, either for or against either
team. Meanwhile the Athletics lived
up to their reputation as the only
real. forfeitin' quintet and slipped the
entire series to the PretZelS, thereby
allowing the Pretzels to climb from
bottom to third place, leaving the
Athletics stranded on the bottom
perch. The Athletics picked the eel
lar position because it was much
easier to sit in the cool breeze than
to heave ball at the 10 little tim
hers, standing in a bunch.

With the seasons end at hand, the
bowlers are turning their attention

from Decatur this spring, but only
got into the game upon one occasion
and that was as a pinch hitter. His
pinch hit was a two-sack drive and
after he stole third and scored, he
was sent to the bench. That was his
last Three-Eye effort this year. kell

then and the Keokuk proposition was
