these defects would be more glazing
if the team had lost the game. Twice
prominent rallies were broken, due
to needless, headless dumb work on
the paths.
The worst offense was in the
eighth inning, when the Cubs were
three runs behind. Safer opened with
a double. Doolan batted in Mulligan's
place and singled Safer home. Fisher
followed with another single to right
and Doolan tried to make third on
the blow. He was out by 20 feet.
Another single followed and Fisher
scored. Then two outs wound up the
inning, leaving the Cubs a run be-
hind.
DooIan should not have been sent
to third at that stage of the game. 1t
was taking a chance that was I'M
warranted with none out and two
runs needed. One run wasn't the
thing to play for.
Raking up something like that is
not impressive after the team won,
but it is better to point it out now
than after a defeat.
Tom Seaton and Packard looked
like mighty good pitchers. Hendrix
was wild because of lack of work.
If American league left-handers
are not exterminated the White SOx
are liable to bust into a couple of

 Not satisfied with these activities, the Volunteer Relief association has arranged to bring the Glee club from the University of Alabama here next Thursday evening, December 21, for a concert and a dance afterward. The association will derive it's quota of benefit from the appearance of the Glee club here, all of which will go to- ward relief work.
