VICTORY AGAIN SELECTED TO
PERCH ON RIVALS STANDARD
Game Of Last Saturday one to be Long Remembered
by the Fans as a Game Noted for its Many
Rapid and surprising Shittngs Of the Balance in
Favor Of the Visiting Team.
By T. w. L. Official Score-Keeper M. s. P.

The M.S.P's. must have a power.
full Hoodoo, Jinx or Book, in their
lineup; for we believe they about
made record for errors in their
game last Saturday contested
with the Cellar Colts when they
went down to defeat to the tune of
16--l1. The weather was simply
splendid, attendance good. and con-
ditions favorable all around for a
first class game, yet, the exhibition
given by the home team was simply
fierce.
There was only one or two play
ers who put up any game at all.
Grummy, the twirler, did some good
work, striking out eight. while he
only gave three passes and twelve
safe hits, but as he got little support
from the field lost heart aud was
benched at the end of the seventh
when Van replaced him. Van did
good work the two innings he was
in the box, striking out three while
he only gave one pass and one safe
hit. Laff with the mask on played
very fair game. Grummy's del
livery was little too swift for our
vetran catcher to handle. Carl,
Saxo, Red and Bergie made good
showing in their turn at the plate,
particularly the former as he actu.
ally stole three of the runs scored.
But in the field there was hardly a
man who played. Some idea NAV
be gained when we mention that
there were thirteen errors chalked up
against the felders and both infeld
and garden men were on par.
As we said in the beginning it
certainly looks as tho there was a
Jinx about the home team some
where of late;for if it has not effected
the clubs form, it has sure been trans
fered to the weather. Now hoodoo
is mostly immagination. So if the
boys both players and fans will get
the following verse into their
"domes" and believe it we sure will
have a string of victories in the fut-
ure yard long. Arthur E. Scott,
an eastern newspaper man is res
ponsible for the following:
81 heard today the startling news
That poor old Jinx is gone;
But l don't think I'll shed tear.
Or put my mourning on.
l we'll recall the many times
He knocked the home team out;
When victory seemed close at hand
He turned it into rout.
But now he's gone, well let him rest
In peace for evermore;
This season we are free from his
Attacts upon the score,
Yet don't forget he had twin,
Likewise of evil fame;
And very much fear that twin
Will be at every game.
So when you step upon the plate
In hope you'll make score,
And hit the pill an awful clout,
While all the people roar,
There's one thing to bear in mind
When flinging down the stick,
And dashing for the base at first;
You We got the Book to lick.
His AK may cut your score to bits,
You Il lose each game by flukes;
And so each fan should be on guard
To drive away the Book.
Now, when the cry ''play ball. is heard
Sit fingers crossed-both dukes;
Remember that it's up to you
To crumple up the BOOK
keep this in mind at the next game
And watch the home team lead.)
The Cellar Colts played a nice
game; their pitcher worked here
some weeks ago. At that time being
one of the Starkel's twirlers, and
while he pitched q fair game. he did
not make as good showing as our
