BOB THAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP
= EVERY KNOCK Is A BOOST
Showing is fair.

Considering a couple of ninth inning
rallies which pulled games out of the
fire, the showing in the West is as good
as could be expected, but not worth
Dragging about. Winning two thirds of
the games on the Western trip gives the
team a fine chance to get home with
better than half the games won. At the
same time had it not been for those
rallies the club would have much ex-
planning at this time.

For six months he was considered a

eral trips into the country last fall,
and Notwithstanding the fact that the
season had been unusually cold and
the development of the plant less than
in the average year, in every direction
there was found corn sufficiently de-

plainly apparent" that with the COM
