by collaborating with Mr.. Koerner. This
Koerner person is there like a sheet of
fly paper With his end of the job. He
makes about one error per month in
erroneous weather. When he turned
and looked for his German friend at
first, and found him not. he had a sad
look on his right arm.
However, Denver did not collect the
Monday game by default or easy pay
ments. With two pitchers Messrs. Gas
kell and Block. the terms were not fav-
oring Denver. The Cooleykaws got a
dozen hits, from the twain twirlers,

would be mere appropriate (being a lit
tie behind on the latest Shreveport, La,
brand Of N. Y. Bowery slang, we may
be in error on that line). However, as
may have been heretofore observed. the
fact that Mr.. Cooley's Kaws failed to
make it three in a row, is no particular
slam on said Kaws. No one in the
audience,-and it was a fairly good
audience. for Monday. thought for a
moment that the players had their
minds upon grocery bills and fishing
trips between $3.50 and $40 O'Clock. 1t

It is reported that Paul Brown will
be farmed out to Spence Art Abbott

Mons. Cooley has too many pitchers,
and Will have to run some of them on
pasture for while, and mayhap Paul
will be among the pasturites. The
writer has just recognized in Paul q
clean, respectable little neighbor who
used to play ball in the thoroughfare
at Huntoon and Van Buren, streets
about nine years ago. 1t was his Gus
tom to make little brother Archibald
head OF some hot ones without a
chest protector. and, as we remember
It. little Archie was frequently in the
hands of Mamma Brown for repairs

Mr.. Stockdale. who was advertised
in this column as an umpire de luxe,
will lose a little varnish from his de
luxe perchance he neglects to break
in the clinches hereafter. Some of
his Monday product would chase a
German cheese into it's hole and
blockade the entrance.
Monday was a box day. Some of
our best people and box renters were
on the job. On the port side the
string ran all the way from Billy An
derson at the north end to Messrs.
Sawyer and Casey near the press ta-
bile, and on the starboard, the string
ran from Mr.. Mills and Albert Reid
to G. And-then-some Moore.
