fall back upon Adams. a fairly good,

In the opening game Adams was rs
nervous and shaken as any pitcher
ever was. He was trembling and white
from nervousness and the strain. He
passed the first batter without getting
a ball over the plate. and with Bush,

With q runner on second and no one

only justification for stealing third

runner intends to bump or interfere

fault, like any other bad habit and

unpleasant no matter how carefully

Is largely to blame.

Now I Will explain how the first

keep them within bounds; to Danish

by calling out the militia, and we
have throat trouble.
Let me say before | forget 1t that
many sore throats can be cured by
the application Of cold, wet cloths.
Wrap them around your throat and
keep them there until they feel warm
