from Texas was just presenting Dickie
Kerr with a bunch of oil stock. The
difference between bunch of oil
stock and a bunch of flowers which
they usually wish on a pitcher is that
a bunch of oil stock waits two days
instead Of one before it withers and
dies
Well, on the 5th they was a man
on third and second and first and very
few out and Cocky Collins hit one
Of his line drives which don't never
seem to go safe, and somebody caught
IT, and whoever was on third scored
and Waffles Schalk stuck on stock
yet and he run down to second and
found that somebody else has lease
on that property, and along came
Sheriff Groh and tagged him and said,
You Are It, You can't expect a left
handler with oil stock to respect other
peoples leases on second base.
Between that inning and the sub
sequent inning Dickie took off his
shoe to rest his dogs and it took him
such, a long while that I was going to
walk out and leave the ball game flat,
as thought the series was over any
| way, and got down on the next floor
and first thing you know Dutch Rue
Their got one and Pat said to himself.
IL a man is unlucky enough to let
Felsch get a base hit he is better in
the club house than here, and any
way looked out there to see who was
pitching and it was the other member
i of the Ring family, SO that is why 1
i stayed through the ball game. and
pretty soon I was parked right be-
side Dutch Reuther himself, and he
said, We'll, it ought to be over by
now, but lost my stuff.
! So I said, Let us go to the races
| tomorrow. and he said, that was
my intentions, but now I have got TO
come back here again. He acted kind
of disappointed over not winning but
great heavens, when he gets to be
lmy age he will be glad to be alive let
alone mourning over one ball game
We'll. along come the tenth inning and
the Sox got a couple of birds on the
bases, and Dutch said, Goodbye, as
II don't want to see this: whatever
happens I can't stand no more strain, "
so he left me and / promised to tell
him how the game come out and I will
as soon as l see him.
They tell me that the Reds went out
on three pitched balls in their half
of the tenth, and that is all would
pitch in any inning if 1 was doing it
but anyway I didn't see the Red part
of the tenth, as 1 was looking up al
the sign on the fence which says
Vote your protest vote wet Novem
Der 4th." So it looks like we would
be here a long while and even Their
will protest by voting dry.

were assembled in one afternoon.
Casey Jones, cham rooter for the
Red Legs. said he had never seen so
much in a whole week.
And Casey has been watching them
for many weeks, too. Some of the high
lights of the pastime were Heine
Groh's two aps at third. once on Of
Tense and once the defense Kopf and
Duncan in an Alphonse and CASTOR,
Pat Moran's failure to send in pinch
hitter for Ring in the eigth. Dick
Kerr's famous run to second on a
caught ball, Schalk being already
there, disgruntled Redland fans and
worlds series experts. The latter, who
had to postpone their trip homeward,
at least should not have to suffer this
afternoon, as they did yesterday. II
is hard to imagine anybody being left
in the collection of the two aggrega-
TONS Up to the time Reuther was
taken out he had pitched no worse
ball than Kerr, but the reason Kerr
stayed in was because Kid Gleason
, didn't have anyone to relieve him. Ii
was reverse of form all around
Kerr, Ring and Reuther previous win
nerS in the series, and winners by stel-
lar pitching, were hammered all over
the lot Even Eddie Collins got a hit
The Sox made as many runs in one
afternoon as they had previously made
in five games. The stage was all set
for the grand finale and now they're
setting 1T over again. Unless the Reds
/, play better ball today they will have
| to reset said stage again tomorrow
and We'll be committing back to Chi

prised Of the 20 who are highest in

These teams shooting at 2ss,665 clay

average Of .9625, In 1915 the teams
averaged .96ii on 72.i70 targets. In 1916
the average was 1866 on 6i,975, in 1917
the average was $500 on 66,0i0 targets
and In 1918 the average was 96i3 on

The 10 leading amateurs averaged
.9602 in 1915, .ss5 In 1916. 1856 In 1917

want TO start In defiance Of the Ma

therefore are busy combing the leagues

In order to get arrangements down
TO as fine a point as possible, the
minors have granted A classification TO
the Texas and Eastern Leagues, for
nerly B organizations. They also speci-
fled that one man may be drafted year
ly by the A A leagues from each OF the

Drafting below that classification will
continue as OF old, with the stipulation
that no optional agreements may be
entered into.
