minence Of something bidding, yet, in
his far-on home land, didn't seem to
embarrass tho Goat OF the Baron.
During the afternoon. Herr Bugs not
only took the sap out OF three Omaha
pitchers. but made two runs The
Jump split the proceeds with him,
fifty fifty. leaving him one to put in
his little note book. And these runs
were preceded by two-bag and three
bag swats. Everybody had q good
time and enjoyed the show. with the
exceptions of the Omaha bunch. par
ticularly Old Man Gonding, who il
bowed down with the burden OF Pa
Rourke's crouch as we'll as his own
which is no light load in itself.
The show e-ened with Mr.. Styles, a
tall, pinkish person with something
aside from his fatal beauty to recon-
mend him. He is really q good pitch
er. Coo-lays lambs shook him down
for two in the very first inning, and
did it something after the following
specifications: Mr.. Indian was on the
first side track, awaiting orders from
the dispatcher, when 4-sythe cracked
q 'two-station train order. Mr.. Pete
stretched It and twinkled across the
plate, his legs looking like the spokes
in q runaway motor truck. Willie
Rapps followed by hitting one an aw-
full jolt, and scoring Forsythe. Moth
Ing moro was done in the scoring line
until the sixth. when Kirby got q
score after a lot Of hard work. This
ANNOYED the homers, who proceeded
to pile up a half dozen in their half
OF the inning. Nearly the whole Coo
ley tribe took part in this cleanup,
including, OF course, Herr Resigl, who
poked out two Dagger on the third
strike. galloped to third on a bum
throw to the plate, and stood there,
looking wise as a tree full Of squinch
owls, waiting for Mr.. Red Man to
bring him in. The enemy potted the
buffalo hunter at first, but BuRsy
crossed the dish while the catcher was
up In the air hunting the second high
throw Of the inning. This string Of
accidents were "ons both the hand
some Mr.. Styles and Mr.. Schlaxel. who
fell in where the handsome one fell
out. Schlagel lasted about az long
as watermelon at a social session Of
the Knights of Senegambia, and Mr..
Closman took up the burden. Mr..
CIosman Is 44-calibre. short. who
heaves from the south side. Mr.. La
F1im-fiamboy slapped one into the tar
distance. and got to third without vis-
tbie effort. Forsythe cracked ont a
little one. scoring La F. Then the
mighty Closman gigged the faithful
Forsythe for getting too far from first
and running the wrong way. But the
Cooleykids Lad more than a plenty.

Yesterdays game contained more
comedy than melodrama, and very
little tragedy. OF course Herr Reisi4l
was aWfully sad for about two Innings
after the Jump failed to appreciafe his
graceful slide to the plate. and thought
Of several different things to say on
the subject. Later. when he Came
across standing up. he felt better about
