Most of the excitement came in
the fifth inning with the Triplett
team batting around to score seven
runs. Triplett drew a base on balls,
Steiner doubled, Backensto was safe
on an error, Burkholder reached first
on a fielder’s choice, Bert Swank and
King were safe on errors and Fritz
Swank then cleared the bases with
a home run to end a nightmare of
scoring for the Metropolitan mounds
man.
Bluffton got another run in the
seventh when Bert Swank smashed
a home run.
Lewis gave up the only hit he al
lowed in the first inning, and from
that time held the Metropolitan crew
helpless.

Freak Cow Is
Puzzle To Vets
COLUMBUS (Special)—A
pure bred registered 6-year
old Jersey cow that has puz
zled veterinarians since it
turned white two years ago
will be an unusual exhibit
in the Cattle Bam at the
Ohio State Fair, August 24
to 30.
A typical fawn colored
Jersey until she was four
years old, this cow suddenly
changed color. The brown
skin on her body, her black
no§e and black switch, and
all of her hair turned pure
white. Veterinarians say
something happened to her
pigmentation but why, or
how, they can’t explain. She
has a high official produc
tion record. It is the only
known existing case of color
change.
The cow is owned by H.
W. Bonnell of Cranberry
Run Farm near Youngs
town.
