yesterday afternoon, when Manager
Ned Egan chose two teams from the
Speed flock. Eddie Wise captained
the Wild Cats and for long time 1t
looked as II Eddie's men were sure
victors. Joe Link headed the other
aggregation, known as the Missing
Links. Some timely taps by the Mis-
sing Links in the eighth frame proved
costly to the Wild Cats and thus Links
team won the mix by a 7 to 6 count.
The game proved great workout for
the entire flock and with the help Of
Shanty Price and some gent by the
title OF Scott things went along In
apple-pie order. Manager Egan
watched the athletes work from the
|sidelines and was greatly pleased with
the showing made by the coming
champs. Heinie Schliebner sprained
his ankle in sliding to the plate In the
sixth inning and was compelled to Quit
the pastiming for the day. After
schliebner left the game Morse played
first base for both sides, as did Scott
play right field throughout the game.
II was learned after the game that
schliebner the flying "Dutchman" who
has already made good will be out OF
the game for week or ten days.
Schliebner's ankle was badly sprained
and It will be necessary for him to use
crutches for q few days. Conner

arrive today and he will fill the initial
sack during the Davenport boys
