 Bob Loveless, the local product who was recently recalled from the Sally league by Moley, made his debut on the twirling mound and pitched splen- did ball. The Gulls got an early lead of two runs and this proved sufficient to secure victory, as Rube Marshall, the former Lookout, was in rare form and held the Barons comparatively safe throughout.
 The cause of the third straight defeat of the Barons can be explained in that not a single member of the team showed any great hitting strength. This was the case in all three of the Baron de- feats Any of the Gull pitchers would usually be easy for the Moleys to solve, but such was not the case in the past series which was copped by the Gulls :. -ith three victories and only one de-

Easy Work

!, It's easy for the man who's
rich to talk like seven sages to
fellows toiling in the ditch, long
hours for meager wages: to tell
them that all wealth is dross, a
frost, or pretty near it, that
everythings a total loss except a
cheerful spirit. Now, l have
earned one bone a day, at heavy,
grinding labors, so l feel honest
when I say wise things to toiling
neighbors. It's easy for the man
who's hale, who ne'er had yaller
janders, to hand out bunk to
those who all with itch or mumps
or CHAMBERS; to tell them that
they ought to smile and wave
their hats and chortle, when tooth
ache or disordered bile is causing
pain immortal. But l, who write
the cileer-up rhyme, to brace some
aching brother, have rheumatism
half the time and jumping govt
the other. So many giving us adj
vice and optimistic chatter and
telling how to cut the ice, when
busted fiat or fatter! And most
of them have never known the
lack of ample riches, the toi1ing
for a wretched bone in quarries,
fields and bitches. And few of
them have been, l ween, from
humble homes evicted, and few
of them, methinks, have seen the
couch of the afflicted. It's easy
work to dish the bunk, when you
are clothed in plenty, to one who,
sweating for a PUNK, is sore in
need of twenty.
