Circus Bar ger, pitching at the head of makeshii lineup of Chickasaws. beat the baron with their regular strength in the ffeld The score was to 2. There was not flaw in the Chick victory. the hrst the' have scored in their last four attempts In the absence of Gene Paulette tn regular first baseman for the tribe, bis Chief George Moriarty played the inltia station Muddy Ruel, a catcher, looked after second base, and Jimmy Walsh Wal sent back to third base, his home.

 REMAINS CONSCIOUS
 Mcdonald never lost consciousness and. according to Dr. Burns, he was not seriously hurt, bat to guard against anything that might develop on account of the intense heat he was taken to the hospital, where he could rest quietly and comfortably
 The ball struck Mcdonald on the right side of the head, back of the ear. It was a curve ball, and not hard thrown Mcdonald is a left handed batter, and was attempting to back away from the ball, high one.
 In the dressing room Mcdonald did not complain of any pain, but was advised by the physiciaRand his play mates to be quiet and not take any chances by getting excited.
