tide finally turned.
Unless affairs take a turn for the
better, Charles l.. ITerzog declares that
he will 90 20 the Philippines and man
age a Moro village. which, he declares,
would be much easier. He had no COM
plant TO make about losing the second

Superbas swep. him back with wild

THREE PITCHERS
FAIL TIP TOPS
Packers Pound Out Easy
Victory in First Game
of Series.

The Kansas City Packers had the
easies. sort Of time defeating the
Brooklyn Tip Tops at Washington
Park yesterday afternoon. Three Brook
Ign pitchers, Joe Finneran, Don Marion
an4 Peters, were badly battered, and
the first two retired to the comforts
OF an early shower bath. Finneran was
fully dressed when Marion came IN.
Peters finished the game, for by the
time he entered it was not deemed pol
icy to waste another pitcher on forlorn
hope. The score was IL to 3.
Fourteen hits were made by the in.
vaders. Not only did the Packers pound
the bali, but their hits were Of varying
distances and scientifically punched.
Eugene Packard, backed by fine sup
port, held the HON, team at bay. Al
though he was touched for a dozen
safeties and struck out only one man,
the men behind him saw him through.
Three double plays were clicked at
IT, es when they were most needed and
runs were cut down.
The score follows:
