NOTES OF THE GAME
BIZ II. s. Med.

When we noticed that the game between
the Green Sox and the Tigers stood to O,
in favor of the Tigers, at the end of the
second frame, we began to think that there
was going to be something doing in the
baseball line. We even began to picture
the possible defeat of the terrible Seekers,
for the Tigers were playing close to the
ground and mailing everything that came
within reach. However, we were quickly
brought TO see the error of our mental cal
culations. Saxo George was first up for the
Green Sox in the first half of the third, and
we believe that he imagined that he had
been transferred to beat the bass drum and
that he was heading delegation bound for
VOLTS refreshment establishment, by the
way he handled the big stick; he got safely
to first, and one, two and three base hits
were made in rapid succession by the bat
tiers who followed in his wake. Before the
Tigers could muster forces and get into po-
sition to check the advance of the wild and
woody Seekers seven scores had been placed
on the tally card. The Tigers failed their
half of the inning. The hostilites of the
fourth inning were started by Count
Gren Ella, who gave the command to fix
bayonets and charge the camp of the enemy.
Placing himself in the lead, throwing all
caution and fear of the consequences at the
Tigers pitcher, and followed by his gallant
and heroic band of skirmishers, among
whom was the noted base ball scout, Big
Chief Bagumtigers, proceeded to rush the
enemy's lineup. The enemy, although
greatly outranked in weight and experience,
contested every foot of the battle ground,
and Pistol Finger Pat was put hors de COM
bat by three mighty swings of the Tiger
pitchers arm. Big Chief came up to bat
following Patrick, connected with the ball
and with muttered, "Ugh, gottum!' lit
out for first base with his war bonnet-or
was it his cap-streaming out behind him.
He was followed closely by Smith, Vosberg
and Jones. In the meantime the irrepressi-
BILE Count, Page and the Big Chief had
raided the enemy's country and were back
recuperating for grander sally forth antc-
ipating an easy victory, but woe is me, the
Count met his Waterloo with the big stick
still clasped lovingly in his manly arms, and
it became manifest that the Tigers were on
the aggi essive. They managed to run in
one score and at the close of the forth in
ming the game stood Is to in favor of the
Green Sox. During the fifth and sixth in
ming the willy Seekers successfully carried
fort after fort routing the enemy in conster-
nation at every turn, and not even allowing
the satisfaction of single victory. AT the
beginning of the seventh, the score stood 81
to in favor of the Seekers. During the
seventh both sides showed the effects of the
terrible struggle for supremacy, but each
managed to gain a single victory. The
Seekers, being now covered with glory and
honor, decided to fall back in orderly re-
treat, harassed on all sides by the indomita-
BILE Tigers who managed to gain a victories
without serious damage to the Seekers.
The Tigers being hopelessly beaten all the
combatants now developed a longing in
their stomachs for something that baseball
cannot supply and when the "peace-treaty'
whistle blew they quickly got in the Cline
up-for- coffee, and the band played .'The
Umpire State March as they filed into the
dining hall and once more peace reigned
supreme.
The score by innings is as follows:
Green Sox 0 0 E 3 5 l 0 %
Tigers o 0 0 1 Il
