The letter was written just after ball
cartridges had been issued to the

and the company had been ordered
to go to the front. In his letter he

tha1 il he vas not again heard from
the letter could be accepted as his
final goodbye to all.

SECOND BATTLE
TAKES ANOTHER BALL GAME
FROM LETCHER YESTERDAY
BY SCORE OF 8 TO Z

Hitting in the pinches yesterday
gave Mitchell its second straight
game over Letcher. the home guard
chalking up an 8 to Z victory. In an
eighth-inning rally the visitors
threatened to tie the score, but tight
fielding saved the day.
Sam Gard, Mitchell's pitching find,
was on the mound again for the Corn
Palace city and showed some of the
form that BANKED Letcher with one
tally last Sunday. The Panatella-
shaped twirler was in difficulty sew
eral times during the battle. but to
the extremely high wind that made
playing very hard and to bits of rag
ged support can be laid the major
portion OF the visitors scores.
Harry Foltis hurled a good game
or Letcher. In only three frames
the third, fourth and fifth, was he
assaulted hard enough to yield runs.
AS with the Mitchell players, the
wind vas responsible for many rag
ged plays and the support given the
visiting twirler was not of the best.
Sammis and Duncan appeared in
their usual role of batting the UNI
pire, and with the usual result.
Mitchell started scoring in the in
itial frame, Babe" Gard reached the
bags when Tiff muifed the throw to
first, went two more bases on passed
balls and scored when Sammis beeted
the pill. In the third stanza, an error
by Hyatt gave Sam Gard life IN the
bases and his brother followed with
a walk. Criss whitfield and FeltiZ's
walked. Dreller, filling the bags.

the third base line, hitting S. Gard
In the thigh and retiring him and
scoring b. Gard. Harter was hit ir
the arm and witlhthe bases populated
again, Payne singled to center and
! sent Dreller and Scharnweber across
the rubber.
With two down in the fourth, B.
zard started the scoring by singing
to left, stealing second and coming
home on Crisis wallop to right field
Manager Scharnweber opened the
fifth by clouting a Texas Lacquer to
left field for three bases and scoring
on Gilmore's drive to Salnmis. Payne
drew four balls and with two mel
down, Nolt was walked. Both u
ners tailed when Sa mZard cloutet
the ball to left field for triple
Scharnweber's single in the sixth was
the only hit for the rest of the game
Letcher scored first in the second
frome, when S. Gard booted Sammis'
rive and Payne slipped with the
ball. In the fifth, Tiff singled. stole
second and scored IN Sammis' safe
ty to center field. B.. Gard dropped
