"Uncle Buck Weaver must have had his horseshoe with him the day he fired Schuster and put Hader, the new second baseman, on the Lagoon team. Now that its all past and gone it is perfectly polite to say that when compared with Ilader, Schuster is not one, two seven as a second baseman. It is rumored that the manner of Hader's securing a billet with the Farmers was something like this: lie dropped down to Saturdays game and laid for Back after the game.

All these places have section houses and depots, four of them have stockyards and three have wool warehouses, so it is readily apparent Mr. Schuster has a future ahead of him.

McCarthy opened it and gave Donnelly some jolts which would have made many a man lay down but he did not and good naturedly returned the compliment whenever he got the chance. Throughout the entire mill he kept up his good humor. The same can be said of McCarthy, although he is not entitled to so much credit for that because he wasnt get-th- e thumping Donnelly was. Jerrys tactics coupled with his superior weight wore down Donnelly and although he put up a hard fight, in the last round he saw it was useless to continue, There was no chance of his beating McCarty and to continue meant a knock out sooner or later.
