Manager Wickers choice but the
noisy blond proved easy picking for
the Growers for in one and one third
innings they had touched him up for
four hits and had showed two runs
across.
Wicker Immediately sent for the
derrick and after applying the hooks
and chains properly hoisted him to
the bench, putting Culpepper in the
box.
Gully pitched a fair game. keep
ing the hits we'll scattered In all but
two innings when by some timely
hitting the visitors managed to score
three more runs.
It really did not matter. for the
two-run lead in the first inning was
more than enough to win the game
for Drake was in good form and had
the Highlanders eating out Of his
tand. Not once did the Highlandera
threaten to score nor did they even
get man as far as second and nat
urally there was not much to nncour-
age the pitcher.
Had the locals started Gully out
with a two-run lead there would be
hard telling what that boy might have
done: nevertheless. he did fairly well
considering that he had about the
hardest hitting outfit in the League
facing him. At several occasions the
locals ha da man on first with nobody
down only to have the next man hit
into double and all chances went
glimmering
Well. such is baseball. One day we
are on top and the next day the op.
ponent; and that is what keeps the
interest in the game.
The Highlanders will play a double
header in Orlando today and We would
not be a bit surprised to see them
take both games.
Good luck to you. boys.

THE NEWEST DANGER

The Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank in Chicago occupies a massive
granite building of considerable area,
1t is of only a single story with a
balcony running around the sides
Almost the entire roof Is big sky
light to give light to the workers be-
meath, those in the center Of the
building being at considerable dis
tance from the windows which are
only on two sides.
The other day the tellers, clerks,
istenographers and officers were busi'
ly engaged upon their tasks when
with crash great body was pre-
cipitated in their midst. Great quan
titles of gasoline were cast over the
assemblage. Books, papers, work
ers were drenched with it. Then
flames, and in the holocaust which
followed eleven of the workers were
burned to death and more than
score seriously injured.
The cause-a dirigible balloon, a
blimp, falling upon the roof of the
/ building and crashing through the
Iskylight.
While doing stunts above the city
! it had caught fire. The occupants Of
the balloon jumped with their para
, chutes. Some were killed and some
! Injured. Some escaped uninjured.
Those travelling in the balloon were
conscious of the risk they took
Doubtless most of these adventurous
spirits cared little for the risk. Some
Of them without doubt felt they were
paid for the risk run.
But how about the thousands Of
others below, who are to an extent
endangered every time one of these
circus stunts is put on. A falling bal
loon or airplane over any city mus
mean death and disaster to more
than its occupants in any case. TINS
most unfortunate occurrence in Chi
cago only serves to emphasize this
/ AS for us, when the time comes
that some persons who now drive
automobiles, helter-skelter down thu
roads become airplane or balloon pl

nails to herald their approach'-Bar
