1 Just to keep Big Ed VAIL from feel
ing hurt or from getting the idea
that the Bunnies have any special lik-
ing or dislike for Mccullough. that
gang of long-eared, short-tailed beau
ties handed Big Ed exactly the same

King Belden, handed second 5 to 0
shut-out to the visiting tribe from
Keokuk, and by SO doing came within
striking distance Of the position in
the old percentage adder where those
same Indians have been SO peacefully
reposing for the past several days.
Anvil Chorus Robbed Of Music.
In addition to giving the fans some
large gobs Of particular delight, and
also in addition to getting several
punches OF sweet revenge for that

above organization the bugs locally
have turned into a gang OF regular
honest-to-goodness boosters and are

bunch, which gives promise Of being
largely attended by the said Jays.

the second sack proving very discour-
aging to would-be pilferers. Lingle
followed with the first blow the Bun
MES were able to get, and slipped
cog at second due to the same pro-
cess as the one that cut Spencer OFF,
Hofer then closed with long fly to
right.
