He Had Missed Again.

On the range party of recruits
were firing their first course. The
sergeant in charge noticed that one
of them. a man named Smith, was
missing the target every time.
At last, quite fed up with the mans
bad rifing, the sergeant went across
to him and told him to go and shoot
himself.
The man disappeared. A few seconds
later a report was heard from the spot
where Smith had gone to. The SER
geant hurried to the spot and shouted:
Are you there, Smith?"
"Yes, sergeant" came the reply,
I've missed again"

pie, anyway, according to Rupert,
and abdication now would be time

The legal action started by the
Yankee owners to prevent Ban from
interfering with Pitcher Carl Mays
ended with hearing before Referee
George Gillespie. The testimony is
now in the hands of Supreme Court
Justice Wagner. The final hearing
brought statement from Johnson
that he owned stock in the Boston
team as we'll as the Cleveland team.

Longeways Capture
Both Ends of Double
Header From Red Sox

The Council Bluffs Longeways de-
feated the Omaha Red Sox, local
colored team. in both games of a
double header at Rourke park Sum-
day afternoon, winning the first, Is
to 2, and the second, 7 to 2, in seven
innings.
The Red Sox took the lead in the
first inning of the first game, but
fell behind in the second frame and
was hardly in the game from that
time on. The second contest was
better game, but the superior play
ing of the Bluffs boys gave them an
easy victory.
The star batter for the Red Sox
was Knight, a pitcher, who poked
