is going to take some tall playing to
win the game, but they say that they

the feat. The game will be called "a

Empire State league staff, has agreed
to handle the indicator.
Houser, catcher loaned Buena Wis

Dacey drove the jinx from the local

Muckalees could win two in row. We
don't mind those Fourth of July games
so much now after taking two from
Rip Reagan.
Wassem caused ripple of amuse
ment when he lost his head in the
third, when he was caught trying to-
take too many on an error He jump
ed on Reagan, as he seemed to be the
smallest man in sight. But Rip knows
how to take care of himself, and Incl
dentally, the members of his team
think too much of him to let fellow
beat him up without interfering. Rea'
gan should have benched the crouch
for the season.
The local boys can't play ball when
a buch of soreheads in the stands
knock every miscue. A player can't
play jam-up ball every day. Give fe.-
low chance and instead of knocking
him when he is down, try and cnee:
him up. The boys hate their errors
bad enough as it is without any one
trying to rub it in.

deep center Brouthers came near stag
ing comedy in left field. He raced
back after the ball, but it fell to the
ground. Chancey, who was also rum
ming up, says he found Brouthers do
ing his best to dig a rock out of the
ground to throw home. The Charles
