dition, owing to the sandy nature of

made of bad conditions. The out
field was still dry-dusty area, and
when player ran he plowed deep
and sent up a "smoke screen" that
would have made Admiral Sims
green with envy. Play ball was f.

tore into it was quite satisfactory to
everyone excepting the professional
crabs, few of whom one seems to
find in the most unexpected places
