Late Saturday he reached home again, full of disgust. "Yep, I went to Macon," he said "and we looked about some for game. I could have bad a crack at n squirrel or two and perhaps a barnyard chick en, but as for hunting, Georgia won't do. Cobb Is one of the most genial gentlemen I ever met, but there are two things we will never agree on, game and baseball. "Why. tarnation take it all," thun dered Wagner, "I've lost four whole days of real bunting on that trip south. No more of it for Haby Hans. The south is all right, and Cobb's all right, onl.r I wish ho had not told me about that swell hunting in Georgia. I'm losing faith in everyone now." CAPTURES FIGHT PLUM.
