Along near the end Of the ninth in
ming yesterday afternoon, Just as
travelling men were beginning to fig
ure how their expense accounts
could be made to pay for bad bets,
Hugh McIlraith, who invested second
base for the Elks, threw a hand gren-
ade into the Antlered Ones pasture
and blew up all their fodder. AS a
result. the U. G. IT'S, captained by
Shade Merrill, won the game from
the Elks,e the casualty list showing a
1913 score. There was lots of ex-
citement in the game, but. the only
ones who benefited are the men, who
bet on the Travellers and the National
Guard companies, who got the pro-
ceeds FOR their company funds. The
pleted purses made the excitement
too tragic.
Speaking in the vernacular Of
travelling men, it was some game"
The Elks had it won three times, but
simply could not hold the laurels.
The Travelling Men did their worst to
give them the game. but the fraterni-
ty lads were on their dignity and
would not accept charity-especially
Cap Merrill had, an awful time with
himself and his pitchers. but he came
out of the game limping and happy.
Tierney started pitching and should
have finished, but Shadow Merrill
thought he was going to throw the
game away and yanked him. The
men who followed threwiit away, but
the Elks refused to keep it. Tierney
worried along till the first half Of the
eighth, striking out only IA me- and
allowing but four hits. In the eighth,
after a three-bagger and a wild pitch,
he was jerked and sent to shortstop.
Cullen moved in from second to the
box and Wilson moved to second.
Cullen also was fond of wild pitches,
but this wasn't his greatest fault. He
J couldn't find the base with a search
warrant and a searchlight so the
Shadow sent him to third base and
moved Hurd into the box. By this
