Tragedy and comedy walked hand

Gently in the Agricultural League
matches In the first game between
the So-kems and Interbureaus Hank
.onklin. shooting at anchor for
ve latter team, went into the tenth
box with his team apparently IL pins
IN the rear. Needing a mark and
count of 4 to win, Hank naturally put
everything he had on the ball. His
first delivery, however, left him with
a split, but he pulled a slide shot,
which left a single pin standing, with
fallen pin revolving about 1t. For
an eternity Hank and his teammates
stood on the alley watching that fallen
min circle nearer and nearer to the
one left standing. Finally it struck
ii and after a little wavering the nnal
pin fell weakly to the floor
Then Hank, on the verge OF nervous
prostration, took his extra shetland
cut out pins.
Walking dejectedly to the bench
Hank found that Capt. Holmes had
checked the figures. found an error
and that Interbureau had actually
won by pins.

folks, but it was just plain tragedy tt
Hank.
