The wild journey was ended in

up columns of smoke and spouted fire.
The street was guarded by police, who
kept back the gathering thousands.

The winning of the ball game
at Newport last Sunday put To-
ledo at the top of the percentage
column for Lincoln county and
if the local boys keep playing
the brand of ball that they have
been dishing up lately they will
have no trouble in keeping on
top of the heap. Clyde McMil-
Ian is making good as a pitcher,
winning his games right along,
which, with Gerard, Center and
Edwards, gives Toledo a strong
pitching staff. Gurnee for
Newport and Gerard for Toledo
each got home run Sunday
and Clyde Mcmillan made a
spectacular catch against the
fence. Catcher Plank had the
misfortune to get his hand hurt
in the last inning.
