ed and pedestaled for another year
by the brainy section Of the u. s. A.
The crowds were there, the deepest
interest was manifested, but neither
crowds OF infantry sympathizers nor
the deepest wishes could win the VIC
tory. II was won by hefty stick
work. plus Williams pitching, plus
McCiavin's backstoppingy a clever CEN

baseman.
The pitching by "Blondy" Williams
for the construction gang was as re-
markable as on last Thursday and
even, a little better, for he struck out
rs as against Is last week and also
had two, clean assists. The clever.
work OF McGayin was evident to all
the fans, as he pocketed the Is strike
outs, and never needed the assistance
Of the first sacker which is a No. i
catching. He scored q hit through
shortstop which later developed into
q good big run, and Red McGayin
stole the only pilfered base on the
part Of the Engineers. Cain. on the
second sack, did some clever work

knuckle down and get ready for 1917.
That's the spirit Of "76" for you This
is ihe age of preparedness. SO here's

square In the coming year. All missed

fair Japan to show how. Uncle Sans

hope he does not catch the cholera
All hail to the Engineers, champions
