His dinner comprised cut from
the Joint, boiled potatoes, brussels

Bass. He ate slowly, chewing with
the doggedness of strong character

Lanyard wasn't slow to solve this

looked up and casually encountered
Lanyard's gaze. the adventurer was
shocked to lind himself staring into
eyes that were as the eyes of dead

BALL BANDS.STUD|ES
PLAY At HQTRE DAME
Eleventh Hour Shift is Made.
Local Lineup Will be
Changed.

Late Friday night. the game be-
tween the Studebaker and Ball Band
teams. which was TO have been play
ed at the north side park. was shift
ed to Cartier field, Notre Dame.
When the league schedule was draft
ed the game was billed for Spring
brook but as the Central leaguers
are home it was shifted. W. h.
Studebaker, of the StudebakeT
team. agreed to play at the north
side but changed his mind. Friday
and the shift was made. The game
will be called at o'clock.
With Capt. Calvin Hixenbaugh
out OF the game with a broken col
lar bone the Ball Band team expects
hard shedding in their combat with
Studebakers than they have been
encountering in this squad. The in
jury TO the third sacker will mean a
greatly shifted line.
D. ]. Kelley, who has been out for
a couple of weeks with a split fin
ger. will probably get back into the
game. He will be sent to right field
and Ralph Willis will probably hold
down the hot corner. IF Kelley is
not able 10 play, Jack Kelley, the
manager, will disport at third and
Willis will be sent to the outfield.
Hixenbaugh will be kept from
active service for at least three or
four weeks and his loss will be keen
ly felt. With three-game lead and
only six games 10 go, the locals
should have no trouble in keeping
in front. divers seem to be the
only squad that can take the meas
ure Of the locals. In three games
they have won two combats, and
had they gone as good against other
teams as they did against the Ball
Bands the race would be interesting.
