Connie Mack Accepts
Sixteen Chances
Behind Plate.

ST. LOUIS AT WASHINGTON,
September %. 1S86.-The home team
was beaten in a very exciting and
well-played game. Gilmore and
IIealy, were in good form and pitched
effectively, sixteen of the visitors
being retired on the formers curves.
The fielding of both teams was good,
but. the few errors committed by the
home team were very expensive.
The fielding Of Mack and McGeachy
and the batting Of Farrell, Denny
and McGeachy were the features
Of the game. Mack had fourteen
putouts and two assists for his
afternoons work, while Gilmore had
seventeen assists in the field. The

After having beaten the Loyola

period game, Catholic Universlty's

a second consecutive victory to-
night when the Bucknell team lie

Bucknell is without a gym, and
the team is forced to travel four

and all those are away from home.
Bucknell has a good team, but one

Dooley describes the affliction OF
Welsh as being q sort OF q paraly-

80 DooIey claims, to being con-
stantly struck on the head and
body with pitched balls.
"Welsh played two innings with

being constantly hit by pitched
balls. Dooley claims the Boston

Griffith considered a fancy advance.
The pitcher, on the contrary, failed
to consider the offered salary any
where near what he deserved. He
came here for a personal interview
with his boss.
For hours last night President
Griffith and Zachary talked and
talked and talked. In the wee hours
OF the morning they were still at
Ioggerheads.

HELPFUL HINTS &HUN NTERS
By MORRhS ALXERMM

Rabbit hunting is to the hunter of America what bass fishing is to the American angler.
 If you call the black bass 'the game fish of the people" you can well designate the cottontail as the game animal of the people,"
 There are hunters who will laugh when you call the bunny a game animal. By the same token the trout and musky angler has been known to belittle the bass fisher man.
 But rabbit hunting is real sport, well distributed over America. He can and does run fast. When you miss him the first shot he can and does run faster.
 The rabbit season is on. The common homo of the bunny is in brush piles and swalc patches, in briars and thickets. But don't forget the rabbit knows that you know that. So the wise ones bed in little tufts of weeds, grass and briars that you would probably pass by.
 And in the woods their favoritc hiding places are under a handful of leaves, in hollow logs, hollow trees, rotted out stumps and the seclusion of fallen branches. The wise hunter hunts for the wis, rabbit where the wise rabbit doe, not expect him to hunt.

The team work was lacking and shot after shot was missed, The Dixics played good in the first half and put a scare into the locals camp for a time. CherpaCk started scoring when he dribbled and sunk q double Coun- ter. Panski followed suit, but the six points in rapid succession. Ya- kobawicz tied the score and at the end of tiAs first quarter, the count stood 12 to 10 in the Burritts' favor, The second quarter was the biggest period for the Burritts. Four bask- cts were sunk at the start without the visitors counting once and when the period ended, the Burritts led 1 by the score of S1 to 1S.
 l Tho rest Of the game saw both ! leaillS uolllS last NoTh ol lhG lOoT with inc local five always heading their opponents, The DiXies count ed only one field goal in the third quarter while they again repeated this in the fourth quarter. Zalosli, i YakohawiCz and Pansld featured for

The Boys club basketball team is not so strong as 1t was last year, That is hardly condemnation, for it Is hardly likely that it can put out another such team in n decade. Last years outfit was q wonder, and 1t is unfair 10 the young material on hand at present to compare 1t with that veteran quintet,
 CoSch Ray Anderson has some clever and promising young material on hand, but he has not yet found the winning combination. Moved around to find the best lineup, the boys have not accustomed them- selves to each other yet, When they do, opposing teams will have trouble on their hands. It is to be hoped that the proper combination can be struck before next Mondays game with the Bristol Celtics.
