Aftain the score was 7 to 0.Rut, alas and alack! Sad to

relate, it was the busy Bees thathad the uuiulmt vvlvile our Tigershugged the cipher to their bos-oms. Three Tiger gentlemen,generally recognized as como«---tent heavesmiths, occupied thehillock for various periods dur-ing the battle. Neither Butch Bel-ford, Iron Man McGinnity, norLefty Girot were able to hanganything on the Canadian visi-

The second inning saw the Beesstart things. Lamb was safe onsecond after McMullin had madea beautiful stop and a wretchedheave. Then Alberts aeroplaneda long blow betwixt the back yardand the west pasture that nettedhim three milestones. One run.

In the fourth they scored three,thanks to the way Monsieur Girotdeadheaded them down to first.Iron Man McGinnity strode intothe box this period without warm-Ing up and after walking Swain,managed to retire Meek on aneasy grounder to himself withthe bases full.

A pass or two, a couple of de-licious bobbles, mingled with hitsby Pelts, Alberts and Meek, net-ted three runs in the sixth frame.A double steal also helped large-ly.

Swain and Meek yea, Big Har-rypolled off the double \u25a0 steal.Charlie pilfered the home platterwhile Meek jogged down to sec-ond. On a wide throw to thepan Harry wearily dragged him-self to third.

MIKE TO BEHONORED

SUNDAYOne person, If present plans

materialize, is going to monopo-lize the attention tr,i at the ballpark next Hunday This genlloman will be one old friend andformer Bengal leader, M. AntsoioLynch, ofttimes .k1.1i.~-, with boldfumiliarity as "Mike."

Yep; Mike Is going to be theguest of honor Sunday. It will beknown as "Mike Lynch" day andall his friends are expected to beon hand with the gladsome fin andchoice wreaths of violets or anyother flower you prefer. Cabbagesare absolutely barred.

Such expressions as "Pop upMike," etc., will not be tolerated,and any miscreant caught utter-ing the same will be instantly i'-.dout and shot at sunrise. No flipremarks are to be made concern-ing his ability in the field or atthe bat, and a bunch of strong andsinewy arni3 will be right on deckto grab offenders.

In return for this Mike will bevery polite, and won't knock morethan five home runs, and will con-vey his utter disgust for the um-pire's decision solely by thoughttransmission, in addition to mak-ing Hary Meek bat with a feather.But he stubbornly refuses to con-cede the game to us.

The committee in charge of thearrangements that has been ap-pointed by Joe McGinnity com-prises "Biddy" Bishop, James P.Hughes, Roy Whitman and JamesW. Egan.
