The best game of the season is
the general verdict of the inmates
herein. in referring to the contest
between the Oak Park Nine and the
M. S. P. played here last Monday.
1t certainly was the hardest contest
ed game that has been staged on the
local diamond this season, requiring
fourteen innings to decide the out
come.
Owing to rain there was no ball
game Saturday. consequently no hol-
iday; but the management not only
allowed us the holiday Monday but
extended the usual period by more
than an hour in order that the tied
score could be played off. 1t would
be hard indeed to express the graft
tude of the inmates for this unlock
ed-for kindness and generosity on
the part of the officials.
Oak Park, the visiting club, had
q number of changes in their lineup
strengthening the team great deal
as to their fielding and hitting pro-
pensities.
The home team in turn was some
what shaken up, Fanny being moved
from the third sack to center field;
Bergie the regular man in the garden
replaced him at third. As the latter
position was entirely unfamiliar to
Bergie he was some what lost at
times and was replaced by Jack in
the eighth who in turn gave way to
Red in the twelfth. Will, the right
fielder, was replaced by Hun. one Of
our Southern Boys" and one of our
regular mascots, in the seventh.
Atty opened the game and pitched
FIVE innings in splendid form but as
we have number of hard hitting
clubs coming here soon he was TAX
en- out in the sixth. Pat replacing
him; but our veteran boxman was
off color and in turn was replaced
by Van in the eighth who really
pitched a splendid game. Laff. our
catcher, did splendid work in his po-
sition and won considerable fame
by batting in the deciding run.
Law led off for the Oak Parks
but was whitfield out in short order;
and Forciea, the next man up, met
the same fate. Byers. the next man
at the plate. laid out a beauty to the
right-6eld that allowed him to reach
the third sack but he died right
there. as Atty famed the next man
up. One hit-No runs.
The M. S. P. were retired in a
very similar manner. Lovely, the
first man to try his luck cracked out
a two.sacker and managed to steal
third. but never had a chance to
come home. Fanny, the second man
up, knocked a grounder down the
third base line that was fielded in
pretty style and whipped to first in
time to meet the runner. Harry and
Saxo were both famed in order
named. One hit-No runs.
In the second inning Oak Park
drew first blood. Berger, the first
man at the plate, drove out a long
fly to center. but Fanny was wide
awake and cared for it in a very
able manner. Barstow their next
batter however had better luck, as
he laid out a nice single on the Sec
ond ball pitched and stole second by
q narrow margin. Underwood, the
next man in the batting order, failed
to connect. Stahl, who came next,
hammered out a two bagger, scoring
Barstow, and minute later tried to
steal the third sack but was caught
in the act. Two hits-One run.

Two carloads of western ponies
had arrived in the middle western
town of Mason and the news-for il
was news to the growing element
flashed from mouth to mouth and
before night the fence around the
stock yards was alive with electri.
fed and mostly barefooted kids. The
playful kick of bronco. the
vicious bite of an outlaw" and the
alarmed squeal of the bitten, the
careless yet alert busters in their
chaps and -brimmed Stetsons
all caused minute inspection and
comment from the critical specta-
tors on the high board pallings.
Fat Fuller, who during vacation
was earning money by driving his
father on his round of calls to pa.
tients. was the last boy to climb
breathlessly to a secure but we'll To-
Gated point of vantage. He was
greeted by cat calls and shrill whis-
ties by his mates and had been told
"all about it" long before his breath
ing had become normal-if you can
call wheeze normal-and his red
den and perspiring face had assum-
ed it's natural rosy hue.
The coming of this bit of western
atmosphere and color was a big
event to these wholly American
youngsters; for had not they been
playing Indian and cowboy since
school let out?" The genial tin
smiths and wood workers of the
town could testify to that and pro-
duce as evidence many wonderful
Genl. Custer swords and Remington
=
rifles, to say nothing of a heterogen-
Gus collection of torturing devices
which would have paled the Inquis-
itlen relics.
If one has ever been a boy, a real
boy, he does not have to stretch his
imagination to see the scene at the
supper table of many families in
Mason on that night in July; not at
all supper tables. however, for few
of the unafraid easily put from
mind, temporarily, what they would
get on their arrival home for miss
ing supper, and still sat perched on
the weather stained fence. even be-
coming acquainted with the cowboys
much to the envy of the other kids
the following morning.
For the main part, however, there
were many anxious mothers and
nearly as many wrathful fathers
who were relieved when son came
in unwashed, hair disheveled, his
grimy, sunburned face radiant and
flushed with expectancy, answering
the superfous question, Where
have you been?'-superfous because
the most hopeless subject of catar-
rah would instantly surmise that
Son had been near the stockyards-
with, Say. Dad, kin I buy q pony!"
There is nothing more persistent
than an American boy when he
wants something very badly; nor a
keener debater, keener to see the
points Of advantage and the prog
ress in his debate, and the following
night the final bomb was thrown in
to the camp, closing the debates for
the most part with the negatives
going down to defeat. 1t was the
Oldest but most pointed weapon of
Americas youths, that Skinny

eight to forty dollars. Son soon had
a skinny. tawny mained. heavily
branded and sweet dispositioned
horse" in the barn-improvised or
otherwise-which took on weight
and spirit under the constant and
zelous care of the owner.
There were, naturally, many dis
appointed ones who still held out
hopes with constantly pestering
their fathers and Fat Fuller was one.
He had secured an option on a pre-
bald derelict and as soon as he had
saved money enough he would buy
it. So Fat continued driving Doc
tor Fuller on his calls, dreaming
day and night of "Apache"-for he
had already named his steed- be

food and kicks. to say nothing of de-
preciating remarks to Prince, the
Old Dobbin,"of his fathers stable.

ranch, received the idea of bur-

the County fair to be held at Mason.
the coming September. Having re-
ceived the concession and where
with-all from the Fair Committee,
he proceeded to inlist the services of
every owner of cow-pony. The
kids were wild with enthusiasm, and
tho Fat still dreamed OF Apache.
and still counted and recounted the
quarters in his bank, he reluctant.
ly admitted that perhaps he couldn't
buy the horse in time but neverthe-
less be prepared his outfit with the
other boys.
The costumes of the Indians were
to be original if somewhat imagina-
tive. A supposedly skin-tight, cop
per dyed union-suit. snowy breech-
cloth, moccasins, and any kind of
bead adornment made up the per-
sonnel of the costumes, auxilared
by any and all kinds of war accou-
terments. The face and hands were
to be doped and the crown of q
black derby fitted snug over the
head to which was glued long black
horse hair, made a tying place for
feathers. The horse could be dec

owner but there must be no saddle

The eve of the big day arrived

able to get to sleep--and who the

In the seventh, Forceia led off for
Oak Park with nice double; By
ers, however, was famed, and the
fans were granted moments respite
but il was quickly over, as Carter,
the next man up. drove out safe
single, scoring Eorciea who. in the
mean time, had annexed a place on
third. Berger, the next man up, hit
on his last opportunity but with out
sufficient pep" ,as he failed to reach
first; Carter. however, managed to
advance to second and scored on
Barstow's double. Pat, by supreme
effort, famed Underwood, making
the third out. Three hits-Two runs.
Fanny led off for the bone team
by singing and was advanced to
second by Harry who repeated the
performance. Harry unfortunately
took rather long lead and was
caught before he could recover him.
self. Saxo proved an easy mark for
the boxman, while Woods best
proved to be a short fly to first that
Byers cared for. One hit-No runs.
Stahl, the visitors best hitter, was
the first man to face Van who had
replaced Pat in the box) in the
eighth, and kept up his rep" by
lining out safe double, Dutch fol-
lowed with single and the same
feat was repeated by Law, scoring
Stahl; but Dutch was tagged out at
second. The next man doubled, Law
going to third but Byers best was a
fly to Harry at short and the last
man was famed by the pitcher.
Four Hits-One run.
Jack replaced Bergie at third and
Hun did likewise for Will at right
field. Jack led off for the home team
but was struck out; and Hun, who
came next. met like fate. With two
men down, Laff went in and raped
out single; and the same trick was
repeated by Van. Lovely, the next
iaan, laid out safe double, scoring
both base runners. Fanny who came
next, turned similar trick, scoring
Lovely. Harry the next batter up,
drove a long one to center that
brought in the man on second, while
he placed himself in the same posit-
ion. Saxo the next man up. bunted.
but failed to make first. Five hits
Four runs.
The Oak Parks went up in the
ninth with tied score, but failed to
make any headway. Berger. the first
man to face Van, got safe single,
but was never given an opportunity
to advance, as the next two men up
were struck out and the fourth filed
long fly to Lovely at left field.
One hit-No runs.
The M. S. p. likewise failed to do
anything in their half. The first two
up being famed, Laff the third man
got two-bageer, but the next man
was treated in the same manner as
the first two. In this inning the
home score-keeper got his batting
order tangled. One hit-No runs.
Starting with the tenth the game
developed into a pitchers battle,
neither getting a man beyond first
till the M. s. P. came up for their
half in the fourteenth, when Hun
the first man up singled safely and
was brought in by Laff on a long
drive to left field. Two hits-One
run-No outs.
