could have found plenty of material
for his dragnet if he had watched the
Giants and Cubs in action. Both
sides were bad, but members of our
local stock company were the worst
offenders And their congealed brain
stuff beat them out of a ball game.
Thoughtless baserunning was the
biggest factor in licking our side.

mer into some of the noble athletes
any idea of co-ordination between
their heads and legs when traveling
from sack to sack.
Otto Knabe assisted the Giants to
three runs in one frame because he
didn't -look around the field. It was
a cold boner, something that Otto is
