Mammons, So, died Thursday night
from pistol wounds said to have beer
infected by Caleb Reeder, a younger

years ago Hammons shot and killed
three men named Bud adm jim Tuck

was the plea which is said to have
saved him from the gallows. The
reputation thus established caused
him to be regarded as a man who

He finally decided on Cliff Loveland,

swatter of parts. His last game in
that famous circuit broke up in a
riot. Cliff drove the ball high and
straight toward the center field
fence. Pewee Brown, diminutive
fielder, leaped high into the air,
grasped the sphere and was hurled
over tn ecenter field fence. The ar
gument was as to whether Cliff had
made home run or was out. The
slot followed.
Mike Murphy has been assigned the
important post behind the bat to ham
