JInx Pursues Cats

The same old jinx that last year
persisted in chasing all JOY away at
the last moment, after glorious vic
tory seemed certain, was on the job
again for Capt. Lusk's home guards
in their opening game against the
Bards last Thursday. After gaining
and holding a two-run lead up to the
final inning, bingles, and errors.
and "bones" summarized the Cat
boat, and down they went with the
per usual sickening thud.
Wisconsin University You-KnoW-
Me AL. Jensen spoiled the game with
homer just at the end of perfect
day. Many claimed that the hit was
foul, but nevertheless the right fiel-
der (n am depleted by censor)
should have chased the pill and not
waited for the decision. Safety first
Beng of the Caterpillar faith"
we couldn't see much joke in Thurs
days game, but it did force smile
when the umpire called Kuranz out
because Capt Fortune shook hands
with him on second base, carefully
holding the ball at arms length so
as not to soil the runners clothes
with it.
Monroe Briggs, new recruit to
fast baseball, claimed the calcium
with a clever catch in left field, cut
ting off Cat score. Link WATSON,
on the Cat roster for the first time
since the Leagues organization, be-
haved beautifully, and Capt. Lusk
is proud Of him Capt. Lusk is not
taking active part in the games this
season, on account Of his eyes. Well
meaning friends have advised him
that it will be still harder on his op-
tics if he tries to find tallies on the
| Cat score sheet.
The Bard batting list read as fol-
lows; Brown, Moline, Elertson, A.
Jenson, Briggs, Fortune, Healey,
Block and F. Anderson. Cats; Morse,
Haugen, Hurd, Kuranz, I. Jensen,
WATSON, Symes, Clark and Knobel.
The League is looking for an Off
cial score-keeper. Ferris White Off
ciated in that capacity Thursday,
but resigned Immediately after ION
advice of counsel" The salary is
the same as that paid to the presi-
dent of the League, and applications
should therefore be plentiful.
The Cats are bereaved in the loss
of Ted Jensen, who has left the city.
Although tits we'll known that it will
be hard to replace this veteran Of
three Cat campaigns, Capt. Lusk. so
we understand, has signed up Babe

the youngster as near as possible to
