taking the top position in the

fourth and Alvarez took the mound.
Burleson was picked to do the
twirling for the Saints, and he held
the locals down to three hits, but
two of those same hits were costly,
each one scoring a man. Two bases
on balls and single gave Lakeland
run in the fifth, and a base on
balls. a sacrifice and two Dagger
one in the sixth Alvarez pitched
an excellent game keeping the hits
well scattered and mixing 'em up
fit for king. Brazier and Van
were the only Lakelandites able to
connect with Burleson and each one
of their hits brought man home.
The feature of the game was the
running catch in the third inning
of Williams off of Ginter's line fly to
center, which saved a score.

ers and Rev. c. E. Smith of St. Thorn
as Episcopal church recently explain
ed to President Wilson the aim of the
newly organized Purple Cross Service
for horses on the battlefield, which
has been taken up through the Euro.

his approval to the movement to have
the Geneva convention, under which
the Red Cross operates, extended to
care for horses in war.

the president that injured horses were
permitted to lie on the battlefields in
the present conflict without care and
there was need of veterinary ambu-
lance corps to treat those only slight
ly hurt and to end the suffering of
animals beyond recovery.
