Cvengros Weakens

For five innings Mike Cvengros
had the Sits clansmen on his hip.
During this period, he allowed them
only one hit. The tide turned, how
ever, after Cvengros was hit on the
left arm by one of Hodges fast ones.
This blow affected the Pana lads
hurling and he allowed seven hits
In the last four rounds.
Although he was hit freely after
the fifth, Manager Drap Hayes be-
lieving he would stand the gaff, did
not jerk Cvengros until after the
ninth inning assault.
The final game of the series will
be played this afternoon. Okmulgee

morrow afternoon, at o'clock.

LA VENGANZA

La venganza es el holocausto de las
almas ruines y cobardes ante el ara del
odio.
Las almas grandes perdonan despre
clan. Las almas pequenas recogen ell le-
gamo y la escoria, las piltrafas y detri
tus, los guardian en- su seno, para vaciar
10 IN dia sobre Ell objeto de su odio.
Traperos de las ruindades humans
usan como cuevano su propio coraz6n.
Tmaginad la mas grande infanlia, la mas
vii calumnia, la mas asquerosa trama;
la mas atrevida procacidad; pues la ven
ganza no Sc detendra ante ella para sa-
ciar sus brutales apetitos.
Ella prepare con Medea ell t6xico NOR
tai para Teseo; ella con Herodias Sc
complace en- aguijonear la lengua del
.Bautista; Marco Tulo, ell principe de
la oratoria, lie cabe igual suerte; Pc
tronio abre sus >venas para complacerla:
don Julian vende su patria.
La venganza siempre fu6, ha sido y
es ell verdugo del amor patrio. Porque
es la negaci6n del amor. Sus engendros
son del odio. sus hijos son los monstruos
de la traici6n y la apostasia. Sus secta
rios Sc prosternan ante una deidad: La
Bajeza". lie levantan un santuario: el
rencor lie rinden un culto: la cobardia.
81 alguna vez hab6is brillado ante ell
envidioso, 81 alguna vez no hab6is COM
placido al engrefdo, 81 alguna vez ha-
b6is censurado al concusionario; loh!
cuidaos, estad prevenidos, que la sierpe
Gle la venganza os acecha.
No bien, en- las primeras edades, la
fraternidad canta la belleza la armo-
MIA del amor, cuando surge su enemiga:
''La venganza''.
Ella arma la fratricida mano de Cain,
un asno presta su quijada como instru-
mento del odio, y desde entonces, exami
mad todas las explosiones del rencor, y
ver6is siempre la quijada del asno sir
viendo en- los ardides del odio.
