SHORT STOPS
Art Glade is to play for the locals in
the field
Cope is not to play with the locals
this year
Archie Cole is with the home boys at
center And he is a peach
Gray is to be credited with a long run
and fine catch in Mondays game
A feature of Tuesdays game was a
star catch by Snapper Kennedy
The game with Havelock this after
noon promises to be the hottest of the
season and is attracting large attention
and interest
The Giltner boys created the impres
sion while here of being a fine gentle
manly lot of fellows They play a nice
game and take defeat manfully
Holdrege should have played out Mon
days game They were beneficiaries of
more decisions than losers and should
have stood for one close decision even
though McCook got a score thereby It
is bad enough to be kickers It is worse
to play the baby act
Gambling seems to be one of the una
voidable adjuncts of sports Tis said
that McCook dropped 700 to the Hol
drege sports in last weeks games and
that there was about 1000 up on Mon
days game between McCook and Hol
dreg But it does not improve the
quality of sport

made up ready to sell and wear 250 to
