BILLY MAKES TWO-BAGGER.
Sunday Dons Uniform and Plays Ball
in Kansas CITY.

Beaten by Billy Sunday. That was
the only consolation the baseball team
representing the Rotary Club of Kan
after the game yesterday afternoon at
Associatio Park with the Rotarians of
Kansas City, Mo.
But to get back to the most interest
ing part {: the game. 1t was in the
last half of the sixth inning with the
score 8 to in favot of the men across
the Kaw, n safe enough margin they
reasoned. Craddock, of the Kansas
City (Kan.) team had just been given
his base on balls, and there were two
men down." as the sporting reporter
would say.
Then the big event happened. Three
thousand | eople cheered when Billy
Sunday came to the plate. bat in hand.
and took his position on the port"
side He fouled the first ball pitched,
a good one. The next one he caught
squarely, 1. singing hit to right field
that LANDED him on second. On the
throw to catch Sunday, Cra.ldock scor-
Sunday stole third, with a crowd still
cheering. Riddle was walked. Then
Pierce hit past second base and Sun
day came in with a run.
At the close of the seventh inning,
Sunday left the umpiring job to John
King and went to center field, his old
position in the days when he PLAYED for
Adrian G. Arson. He had no oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself in the
field for either side. In the eighth in
ming Sunday went to for the Kansas
City (kan.) team.
He hit a high foul, missed the next
one. a ball He finally hit high in
field fly and was retired by the pitcher.
Billy looked to be in better condition
physically and more fit to play base
ball game than most of the others who
took part. Apparently, he was as hard
as nails" and he was as active as
boy. Mrs. Sunday sat in a box with
Paul Sunday and a party of friends

Observation-Disclosures, eighty-six captains

sixty observation-disclosures TO colonies,
thirteen majors to observation-disclosures,
thirty-two captains TO majors, l31

ion regiments attached to the cavalry
arm, six Observation-Disclosures will be adj
vanced to colonels, ten majors to lieu
tenant-colonels twenty captains 10 ma
