To WIN CROWN

toe-hold in these parts concerning
one Of the largest pitching displays
IN the National league truck show,
to wit: MIR. Charles Massive Tes-
reau. the great bar glitter Of the
ozark hilIocks. This Mr., Tesreau
may be recalled as the person who
did. or did not, lead the National
league pitchers-it depending upon
which set of MI John HeydierS
averages you patronize.
Anyway there has been an nm
preston hereabouts-a vague CD
scure impression. something similar
TO the impression that you can
really get a cheap meal IN New
York-there has been some such
ambiguous impression, we repeat,
that Charles M Tesreau winters
much after the manner of those
Httle bruins that he used to pluck
free handily from the cotes. winch

Such is not the case. MI. Tes-
reau is no hihcrnator He is spend

restraint. at Perryvile, town THAI

Further advices from MIR Tes-
reau are to the effect that ne mas
nicked up in flesh, and that he an
ticipates the best season of ms ca
reer. This is most encouraging
Fear had been expressed in many
ouarters that MFR. Tesreau might
come in with a doleful prophecy as
to his future, being baekWoodsy
and eccentric and all that, but 1t
seems not.
The last seen of Mr.. Tesreau att

ne had purchased buzz buggy and
was cutting hole in the atmos-
phere between here and Missouri,
pulling the hole in after him as he
went. Reports from along the line
of aperture indicated that there
was widespread talk Of the revival
OF 9igilante law. However he got
TO PerryviNe without being appre-
hended and settled down to trying
to prove to the townspe0ple that he
was the same Tesreau mentioned
In the box scores last season.
MIR. Tesreau not only displayed
to the citizens all that yellow
money he took away from here,
but he let a committee composed
of the mayor. two trustees and the
city marshal feel Of IL Since that

some months Were he possessed
of this knowledge. Mr. Tesreau
might not be wintering as well as
at present. He might be in one of
those caves with the bears .
