A pretty sore bunch of White

physically. not mentally. The ef
fects of their strenuous efforts
against the Texas leaguers in Fort
Worth and Dallas were evident in
the actions of both squads when
they hooked Up in their family
squabble.
The score al the finish was u
to . in favor OF the Goofs, as nearly
as could be determined. The ath-
letes mixed themselves up so often
it was hard TO tell which squad
was at bat. Schalk, while eaten
ing for the first team, went to bat
for the Goofs with the bases full
and whaled out a home run good
for four of their tallies' Williams.
Benz and Tedeschi did the slabbing
for the Coos. and Da1forth and
Robertson worked for the Regu-
lars.
Cicotte. who was left here to
nurse lame neck, was consider :
ably improved yesterday and now
