A Batch Of Smiles

AT the railway station in small
town a solitary traveller was waiting
for the days only train. Train time
came and went, but no train. He
went over to the station master, an old
darky: Say, when does today's train
get here anyway?"
oh dat train Won't be in for a
long time YET
In few minutes, however, train
was seen crawling toward the station.
There comes the train now!" eX-
claimed the traveller, exultantly, to the
, darky Seems to me you don't know
your business, if I'm not mistaken"
Say, mister replied the darky. II
reckon yous perfect stranger
around here. OATS yesterdays train,
dat is. Today's train won't be in till
tomorrow"

WHERE THEY PLAY SUNDAY.
Langdon at Clyde
Munich at Wales

BY winning two games straight in
easy victories from Wales the Langdon
team is able to even up the slump it got
in.t the per centage column of Sunday
when it dropped two games to Munich.
Langdon won its afternoon game of
of yesterday by score of to 3: the
second one was perhaps the easier VIC
tory of the two. being won by a score
OF 10 to z In the start off Wales start
ed to do things, but Langdon respond
ed with an alacrity that kept the score
keeper busy. The feature of the after
noon game was the debut of Langdon' S
new pitcher, j. Thilien, who had he
been given adequate support from the
field, pitched shut out game. The
games of yesterday mark the completion
OF the first ten Of the f.rty scheduled
for the league to play. Langdon has so
far won halt its games and from now on
| will strike out on its winning stride for
the capture of the pennant.
Langdon somehow managed to lose
both games of a double header played
4 with Munich on Sunday. In the even.
ing game we narrowly escaped being
left scoreless, Reed bringing in the only
run made in the last inning In the
afternoon game Langdon held the lead
until the fifth inning in a game thai
loose plays ran the score sheet up to 6
tally of IA to s. Malone pitched Lang
dons afternoon game and Lee the even
ing's. Losing the games by Langdor
was certainly not by any means the faul
of the pitchers, poor support and costly
errors in both the in and out field con
tributing generous share to the resul
which dropped our team one notch lowe
down in the per centage column. Will
four runs to their credit, Langdon wa
,ssaever IN danger until Munich went t.
I bat in the fifth inning in the Afternoon
game. Fred Malone was doing real pro
fessional pitching, and an amateur a
that had struck out four of Munich

kept the hits we'll scattered and woul'
have probably won with better support
