BuFFETS WIN FLAG
IN THE CITY LEAGUE
SEASON IS CLOSED
Trim Mike Davys 8 to 5 and Mud
Hens Win From KOlts 8 to =
City League Season Comes
TO Close.

BY defeating the Mike Davys Sun
day in the game at Washington park
the Interurban Bullets annexed the
pennant and will receive the $40 cash
prize offered by w. O. Peterson for the
pennant winning team. The Bullets
came out on the long end by a score
of 8 to 5. Jumbos Mud Hens defeated
the KrOnitz KOlts 8 to 7 in the second
game and showed the Kolts down into
the cellar
Casey on the mound for the Days
failed to keep the hits scattered and
coupled with miserable support at
times appeared to have no chance
against the top notchers. The first
scoring was made by the Bullets when
they piled up five runs before their OPP
pOnents began scoring. Three runs
were made in the third, Casey being
hit freely. Archie caught his batting
eye and landed on Casey for three neat
singles. HOsfeld pounded out two hits
in the game. In the eighth the Davy
bunch got next to few when Arndt
landed on one for four bases, scoring
Hahn and Brooks. But the noise soon
subsidized when Hose held them score
less in the ninth.
The second game was copied by the
hard hitting Mud Hens. The Kolts
started off with a jump, scoring four
runs in the first frame. But the Hens
came after them slowly and before
play was stopped came out on top 8 to
7. The KOlts have the honor of Occu-
plying the cellar, losing their last five
games. Schumann cleaned the bases in
the seventh, the four runs sewing up
the game

ghett1, noodles, crackers, breakfast
foods, pie, cakes, and pastry, will be
permitted TO buy only seventy per
cent of their last years purchases, and
they are asked to perform patriotic
service by using substitute 1ours.
Flour will be sold through regular
channels, and in such a manner that
each community will receive it's equiv

that the evening meal be observed as
wheatless.
