much of kick from anybody. But
the chances are very much against

in when the team is sent on the road

Sleep Out of Doors.
Whenever circumstances and environ

seasons. City air Is bad enough at
at best; but it is Infinitely worse when

city men have to breathe it for the
greater part of their working hours.
Under these circumstances. sleeping in

Pitchers Did Ii.

The pitchers were responsible for the
eighteen victories chronicled by June J.,
1872. Johnson, Groom, and Hugh es
were showing real class on the hill but
the others were not. The hitting OF the

bad Then came the marvellous trans

lightning cclerity from sixth place to

the season with the same lineup which
took this big lead toward the roof of
