nual cruise down the bay.
A general good time can be count
ed upon by all that are going. Th'
dancing program consists OF both th'
old and new dances which Will give
the lovers of both steps a chance e
Indulge in their favorite steps. Sew
eral prizes will also be awarded e
the dancers. A prize fox trot and
prize waltz occupying conspicuous
places which gives both the old and
new dancers an opportunity OF COM
peting for prizes. Several other
amusements will be offered by the
committee in charge to instill mirth
and 10Y into the entire cruise. Hale's
orchestra will furnish the music.
II seems queer how some people
change so quick. They are much
like the weather. sunshine one min
ute. maybe rain the next. We don't
mind the rain, but when the light
ming, thunder and wind flash. roar
and blow at the same time, II sure
makes a lot OF noise, to say nothing
OF the annoyance. The same ap-
plies to some rooters. They don't
mind calling themselves members
OF their respective clubs even playing
on all the fair athletic teams, but
when It comes TO a showdown they
go back on their friends. The same
roofing applies 10 elements. We
don't mind the roofing but the vivid
ness of the color and the deafening
noise made by the same to say moth
ing OF the remarks throwed in are
what hurts. We finally say II they
are not good enough to fight for,
why not go where it's worth while.
The above is pretty deep, but its
not over everybody's head and hands.
Mike O'Neil was so interested
reading a newspaper while eating
his supper last night that he for
got what he was doing and wasn't a
bit hungry when he was finished, so
he had to eat all over again.
The fans that attended last Satur-
days Defance-St Mary game at Sec
ond and dupont probably witnessed
the greatest catch they will ever see,
when Jimmy Taylor dragged down
Tobin's clout into deep right The
catch robbed Tobin OF a sure home
run and also saved the game for
st. Mary. II happened like this:
Tobin was the first batter for Def
ance in the last half of the ninth in
ming when he caught one OF No
lan's shoots on the center of grav-
ity and sent It sailing far into right
neld. Taylor who was playing rather
deep. was off at the crack of the bat
sprintlng towards Third street. To
the spectators II looked like Jimmy
was about two steps too late when
he astounded them by making a fly
ing leap spearing the ball with his
gloved hand. The impetus of his
leap made him land on his left shoul-
der which made him turn turtle
twice. But he held the BAH and
saved the game for his team. also
giving the fans that were lucky
enough to witness the catch. some
thing to talk about during the COM
ing years.
1t seemed we were not supposed
to win this game anyhow. Lynch
followed Tobin to the plate and cut
low liner to center which Bren-
nan also made a great shoestring
catch on taking the ball on the
dead run. Then Taylor. to be in the
limelight again. by another great
stop. cut Clarke's hit TO double by
another great backhand stop.
Buddy's hit looked good for a triple |
or a homer.
All this happened in the ninth in
ming, too. Is It any wonder we got
beat?
After much chewing the rag the
and the single men have
finally come to terms for their Sec
ond game. II will be played next
Tuesday at the Third and Adams
streets grounds. It will be remem-
bered that the henpecked squad won
the practice game played several
weeks ago by 25 to score, be-
cause the single mems pitchers arm
was sore.

Eddie Donovan's work against
Union was a revelation TO the fol-
overs of the team. Eddie has a
lice break on his fast one and the
act that his opponents could only
-arner four singles off his delivery
peaks for itself. Donovan's addi- {
ion will give the team much h-needed
trength in the final drive for the I
