 -7 It is verra much disgust It is annoytngly nauseating. It lureth forth much vomit It getteth our goat, captureth our angora, kidnap- lspeth our nanny. It passeth all un- derstanding. It is plague, a pestl- . lence, an incurable disease from which the Barons have no known or unknown avenue of escape. . It maketh Matty a fit subject for Mattewan. It runneth us all as crazy as covey of bats. Dante. in his weirdest flights of imagination. \ could have pictured no torment. no purgatory, where the suffering, an- guish and misery had reached such tempestuous momentum.

 What happened7
 It is almost too grueeome to put on paper. It gives one tho shud- ders, It causeth a shiver to pass up and down one's chiropractfo column. It Is just, sufficient and convincing proof that Conan Doyles little play mates are real spooks-that there are hundreds of thousands of spooks dashing through the aura and ozone and Eumming up the traffic
 At the start of tho ninth Hllam singled into right.
 Baker. hitting for Fulton. craHneo single into left
 Matty got out his forceps and pulled Mike Eberhard from the game. It was the second time in as many days that Matty had tossed In the sronge for Mike. Many, who had bet on the Barons deplored the fact that it wasn't a brick.
 whitehiII Enters
 MT. Whitehll enters. (He's as cool and calm as the attic Of an irloo. His arm Is of the same tenn perature. He smiles wanly). Mir. whitehill losses four wide ones to Dennis Williams and that worthy walks. The bases are sagging from their weighty load. So Is MT. White hill.
 Whitey. just to add bit of novelty to the affair throws one into the dirt for wild pitch, and Leathers. who is running for Ellam, scoots home win the tieing run. Nobody is out. Yet, there ain't nobody home. Quite paradoxical, eh, Mawruss.
 Immediately thereafter Mullen hit one as straight at Tommy Taylor as Martin goes to his gourd. Taylor lost 1t in the sun and instead or stepping 1t for an easy double play, he dropped to the ground. and the ball rolled into left. scoring an other.
 against the walls in right. bringing in the third run of the frapc- Huhn hunted and Whitey kicked .s twice all hands going safe. Rhino Williams stsrtled the spectators by popping up. He's good at that. but they usually 20 over the fence. Whitey walked Niehoff with the bases full and forced in another. Schulte sao- rificed, and still another came across the pan, running the Bear total to bare nine tallies.
 
 Mattv.s meandering misfits came in with blood in their eyes. It was also -s on their faces. Harry Harper rushed into the bleachers to "get" fan who had been calling him vile names Said ', 4epithet- -hurler disguised himself as foul ball, and bounced over the bleachers before the irate Harry ar- 'rssrived upon the scene.
 Shutter sent Brandon in to hit for whitehill. Tooter bounced single into right. Stewart beat out an in- field hit. Neun, who had already slammed out two singles, double and triple out of four times up, was tired out. Hin best was grounder to second and out at first, tho run ners moving up peg. Stump Clarke sent a long sacrifice fly to left which brought Brandon home i. Tommy Taylor smashed ono to cen
  This ran the Baronial total to seven They were but two runs behind. Tay- Tor stole second, and third. Harper's fnfield hit to deep short brought Taylor across. Silva. who had banged out a double and single, wasn't equal to the task. He grounded out and the game was over.
 Matty's maulers hammered out II hits and lost ball game. When any .s one club gets r hits in one ball game it Is time to call in an alienist, yea a herd of 'em. < Pitchers' Parade It was one of the greatest pitchers 's~ processions ever seen on any bal club. Manager Neihoff used four. He .z started with Sigman. Siggy, one oi VI the greatest left-handed zither play, S .ers of all time. was knocked out ir f. the fourth. Ashley Pope was tn, | next man on the hill Ashley lasted -until the eighth. Charlie Fultor pitched a fraction of the eighth ant retired In the ninth in favor of pinch hitter. Fuhr, another left handler pitched the ninth.
 Matty used but two-Eberhard ans Whitehill.
 The game was tied up three times and then the Barons forged ahea' in the eighth. To forge ahead in tn ninth, however, they would have t use a fake signature.
