Field battle ground today, broken
only by the twitter Of Cardinals.
A truce. necessitated by league
law, has been declared in the war
OF attrition between the Flatbush
Fusileers and the Hornsby HuSsars,
and the latter force has moved to
another sector.

DAD blood between the Dodgers
ID and Cubs developed in their
very first meeting at Chicago a
month ago. 1t seemed the aim of
the starting Cub pitcher to shoot
the ball at the heads of the Dodger
batsmen.
The following day, another Cub
pitcher did the same thing. In an
other of their games Burleigh
Grimes spent almost the entire aft
ernoon sending them at Joe Strips
chin-so often, in fact, that Joe,
who is a good dodger as we'll as a
good Dodger, drew four consecutive
walks.

games and the evacuation of first place.
should be enough to give them pause.
