Colonel Til to the Rescue
AS soon as the matter had been made
dear to the esteemed colonel he
Wrapped himself in all the dignity that
BELTS the national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and gave
one peremptory order. Pointing to
NcManus, he barked out in his best
isrrackroom voice, "Put that. man
cut! He's disturbing the peace" The
bellon squelched at cost of two runs,
and the Yanks had evened the count
on the long, hard day.
Huggins used only two pitchers in
winning the second pastime, but Lee
Pchl had hard time losing it with
four hurlers. Dixie Davis threw few

and, as aforesaid, Colonel Huston saw
that he was put out before he caused
any trouble.
The Yankee tallies in the first inn

The first game was just case of
too much Shocker. The Yanks got a
single in the first, two in the second
and one in the fourth, with no accom-
panying runs UP to the final inning.
Then. with three-run lead, the spit
ball finger eased up just trife and
