Man Injured in Car Spill.

w. F. Gumtow of Hancock received
two fractured ribs on his left side
last Friday morning when the car he
was driving left the pavement and
turned over at the side of the road
about half mile east of Morris. The
snow at the side of the road probably
saved him from more serious injury
from crushing beneath the machine
as it held the car up enough to enable
Gumtow to extract himself from be-
meath.
Allen w. Edison, county agent, and
R. H. Giberson, Boys and girls club
leader arrived on the scene of the ac-
cident shortly after it happened and
brought the injured man to Morris
where he was given medical attention
Aside from the fractured ribs Gumtow
was badly shaken up but otherwise
uninjured.

Matty on every day of the series

was as much excited as when in
boyhood he sat on a fence around
some vacant lot at Factoryville, Pa.

bases, and perhaps empty them when

other old ball players are like
that-some of them. There have been
ball players who were attached to
teams and who came back to see
their old favorites play who could
not remain in the stand when the
moment became pregnant with great
possibilities. They sneaked out of
their seats and waited behind the
stands for the big roar. If they
heard it they knew that the new

used to do and they would then
emerge and yell, too.
