agement holds that man who ar

second game, or got his money back,
we can't exactly figure. Double
headers are scheduled on Saturday, the

want TO see the games fail to come
when the first is called. that is their
fault, and they have nothing coming
to them should the second be prevent
cd. through whatever cause.
Yesterday was no 1T day to play
even one game. and, under conditions
that existed before the second began,
1t was well-nigh criminal TO ark a lot
OF youngsters to gamble with their
lives just tn please a lot of unsports-
manlikc fans. 1t is unforgiveable, and
the real fans. the real sports. the real
lovers OF fair play. will resent it.
At least some good news is on tap.
Sandy Piez will he back In the game
to- morrow. His strained knee is rap
Idly righting, and under the doctors
treatment. IT is believed that he will
be In Mt shape for the f1rst attack
against the Coolers. He said yes
terday that while it was still sore, he
felt able to play.
Rumor has 1t that Joe Kircher is
wanted In the Southern League
Though We fail to see his worth as a
manager, we are great adm!rer OF
him as ball player There are worse
men than Kircher In the southern
