Gene Patton's big yellow dog has
gone to his reward. Last week he
got caught in the big wheel in the
mill race and was drowned. Owners

in the eddy in spite of all efforts to
the contrary. Henry Eisner came

About the worst base lull frost
that has struck any aggregation in
this section for years struck the
Arcadia “Blues" last Friday, when
they came down from their little
hamlet to the north to wipe the earth
up with the Wiggle Creek farmer
boys. By agreement the game was
liad on the Loup City diamond, and
before the game everybody conceded
it to Arcadia even the Wiggle Creek
'boys giving it up. Before the hour
arrived, Cooley marshaled his "Blooz."
up and down Main street, his voice
like a fog horn announcing the great
event, and his magniticient physique
S swelling with pride as he fondly
■gazed, apon his aggregation, and the
i Wlffgie Creekers shrank within them
^selves till their suits hung loose in
j the breeze. But how was the result?
Don't ask Cooley. The awfulness of
ids defeat was paralyzing. He went
home with nine straight goose eggs
to his credit, while the Wiggle Creek
Bruisers fondly carted down to the
creek eleven as pretty scores as ever
were won, and all from Cooley's re
nowned “Blooz." But why pile on
tire agony? Cooley's “Blooz" evident
ly can't play ball—even with a bunch
of farmers. They should have had
flat boards for bats. Nineteen of
them fanned out. Only one got to
third base. Some actually reached
second, but found tire ball there in
advance. Cooley should give his
wonderful aggregation a certain
amount of practice before they even
play with plow-boys. They are nice
boys, but they can't play ball—not
with the W. C. Bruisers, at least.
We are sorry for Cooley. He really
thought lie was at the head of a base
ball aggregation.
