ARMOUR STARS WIN
AND LOSE IN LEAGUE

Three interesting games have been
pIaved by the Packers league this
season at Washington park. Armour's
Stars played double header Saturday
afternoon, winning one game from the
S. & s. team to the tune of TO 3. and
losing a closely contested game to
Swift, 5 to 4.
The feature OF Arinours Stars was
the excellent pitching of Waldrom, who
was on the mound in both games. Man
ager Evans thinks he has a promising
nine in the Armours Stars. They will
pay s & S. again next Saturday after
noon.

II looks as though six Of the clubs have
corking chances to be up in te fight all

This refusal Of Pittsburg to be sat

You fans perhaps viii think I fig

this I admit that lido not esteem Magee
nearly the ball player he is usually
credited with being. He is a great
individual player, a poor team player
both at bat and on the bases. and he
detracts somewhat from the team value

hans can play ball almost as well
