Mr. Beaudreau had Just been
talking with T. F. Sullivan and A.

purchasing the Guy Ransom farm
in Essex when the walked into the
barn yard where the bull was.
Without any notice the youn ami
NAL took after Mr.. Beaudro2u and
struck him in the chest knocking
him down. 1t is thought that the
force of the impact broke some
bones.
As soon as his master was down
the dog went after the bull biting
him in the tail and he finally got
a hold which the bull couldn't
break. The dog was swung about
several times, but still hung on and
in this manner distracted the atten-
ton from Mr.. Beaudreau. Several
Of the mans sons were soon in
the yard and with pitchfork- drove
the bull into his stall where he was
chained.
MI Beaudeau was taken to a

The exact extent of his injuries is
not known. He is well known in

Brace Of Triples Oh His
. Ex.TcamnsafeS.
BY J. L. HUGHES.

Charlie Friedl was Ineffective in
the first half of yesterdays confab
at Douglas park, and the Islanders
lost their first start under the man
agement of Tommy Thomason. The
score was 5 to 2.
Waterloo punched seven OF its
hits in the first four innings and
gathered in their total number Of
] runs before the half way mark was
reached. After that the visitors did
little to distinguish themselves, ex-
cept accord Knapton, their hurling
ace, top-notch support. Knapton
twirled steady, heady contest and
was in trouble at no time except
the eighth and ninth frames. In
both these innings the Islanders
threatened to stage rallies which
might have changed the complexion
OF the game had they been success
full.
In the ninth inning Knapton was
touched for four singles. These
produced one run and left the bases
populated and brought Thomason
to bat Tommy previously had de-
livered two triples and the crowd
cried loudly for another long blow,
but the new Islander boss could re-
spond only with a grounder to
shortstop, allowing an easy force
out at second base to retire the
side.
In the eighth Thomason's triple
to the flag pole, coming after two
were out, was followed by a base
on balls to Belz. But Leach, in
left field. was laying for Gray, far
back in his field position, and when
Preston put enough behind his wal
lop to ride the sphere to the pole,
Mr.. Leach was there to take it in.
Waterloo scored a run in the first
inning when Church strolled, stole
second, advanced to third on Nor
tons error and came in on a sac
rifice fly to Thomason. In the thiro
inning, Firms failure to play for a
sure out at first base, permitted the
visitors a chance to score three in
stead OF one run, to which they
were rightfully entitled. Leach
singled and reached third on Nc
Evans double. Pezdirtz hit to Finn,
who, not having chance to cut off
the runner. tried anyhow and
failed. A play at first would have
brought the outs to two and Hills
accompanying fly to center would
have retired the side. Instead it al
lowed McEwan to register. A mo-
ment later Lubbe singled to CEN
ter, scoring Pezdirtz.
O'Shea's triple and Churchs sac
rifice fly scored WaterlOo's last
run. in the fourth inning. Thomason
drove in the Islanders first run.

Is a peculiar case. He wrote a let

pressed perfect willingness to de-
sert the Giants under certain con-
ditions. His desertion was expect
ed to be fatal to the pennant as

queerest violation of baseball ethics
in history.
By what devious process of rea-
soning Douglas conjectured. that he
could help himself in any way, be-
yond an immediate and insignifi-
cant recompense, is past finding
out. .
The mere fact that he had threat
ened or intimated that he would
break his loyalty with his club was
enough to warrant his banishment
from the game professionally. A
player in that mood would be as
impossible as Judas Iscariot.
