F@lRt OF Russel Kitty we are
HSNMgH enabled to present to the
lNNy readers of the Gazette an
account of a ball game played
Somewhere in France between the
"Yacks'' and Tigers
From the Extra Sporting Edition
of the Headquarters Gazoote,
March 25th, 1918. For Sale at all
Stew Dealers.
The Headquarters Tigers defeat
ed the Eco Lumber Yacks on
neutral territory Somewhere in
France today, thereby sending the
Yacks to the basement of the Vol.
canic League and tieing the Tigers
and Eco Gnats for the roof gar
den. 1t is rumored that the Yacks
will play the Philadelphia Athletics
to decide which is the worst ball
team in the world, but that is a
question that only trial can decide.
j. Patrich Gallagher, of Dublin
Gulch fame, Yack Manager. was
absent on a scouting trip Some
where in France. He is probably
hunting among the French natives
for a second Napoleon Larry La
joie. This brings up the old ques-
tion, ''Does lightning ever strike
twice in the same place." or will
there ever be another French ball
playerg
There were many we'll known
spectators present. chief among
whom was the washwoman of Eco
and her husband. In honor of the
occasion he cher husband) wore
his famous brilliant red pantaleons.
General Pershing wired his re-.
grets on account of being unable
to be present. Law and order was
preserved and insured by the pres
ence of that famous NJ. P, Deacon
O. H. johnson.
Fans forgot all about the old
Chicago Cub machine when the
Tigers took the field. The ma
chine was faultless as it should
have been as they had over five
minutes practice together. The
Yacks presented their old lineup
with the exception of first base,
which was covered by Hal Chase
Bolton, whom they obtained last
week from headquarters via the
waiver route. He fielded the ball
in fine style and showed that he is
not has-been yet. At bat neither,
did he remind one of a has. been,
be appeared like a never-was-er.
However, he was full of all his old
time pep and kept things lively.
1t was hot day and many per-
sisted in tanning themselves when
ever they came to bat.
The Tigers lined up as follows:
Tyrus Raymond Cobb Anderson,
CT; Eddie Collins Tiffany, 2b; Hon
us Wagner Beudoin, IS; Ray Schalk
Kitty, c; Home Run Baker War
rem, 3b; Iris Speaker Norton. If;
Chick Gandil Bishop, ID; Joe

It was beautiful park, the dia-
mond being set in the center with
a wonderful Montana Pearl. In
the fourth inning the Tigers
amassed six runs and it looked as
if the Pearl needed re-setting, but
it finally stuck it out. In the sew
enth inning, with the score Z to 3,
Gotten was allowed to rest and
''The Moose" was led into the pas
ture. His machine gun fire ratified
the enemy for awhile but as he
couldn't find the range they tied
the score in the last of the eighth.
However, this was not done until
two of their field generals were
plunked by the rapid fire. In the
first of the ninth the Tigers dis
covered that the Yacks' shortstop
was wearing corset and couldn't
stoop, so line plunge in that d.
