It was that big- firm of Barnhart Brothers and Spindler, Type Founders, of Kansas City, who noticed that the New Bra heading was on its last legs and could be used but a short time longer. Through their kindness and the intercedence of their general representative, Mr. Charles D.

Tillo, they got busy and prepared a new head. An electrotype was made and sent to the NEW Era with their compliments. This issue tellsthestory on the frontpage. We wish to extend our appreciation and thanks to Messrs. Barnhart Brothers and Spindler for their generosity in contributing the new plate.

It is all that we could wish for. To state that it pleases us could express it but mildly. It is unique in design, artistic in quality and comes to us at a time when we needed it most. Many, many thanks, gentlemen; we feel grateful for your most valuable grift. ii ii ii Win (By Biard) Sportman's Park was the scene last Saturday of what, with a very-little improvement, would have been a good game.

Detachment No. 2, from Fort Leavenworth, one of the strongest teams in these parts, and the White Sox were contenders. Gillis was in his usual good form, striking out twelve husky soldiers, while J. Taylor made only four of the home guard bow to him. The White Sox scored in the third frame and the visitors followed suit in the fourth.

It was anybody's game from the fourth until the first half of the ninth when Meredith allowed Thomas' grounder to get past him and Jones scored from third. The failure of the White Sox pinch hitter to come clean with the goods in the ninth ended a game in which neither team seemed able to instill much ginger. The features of the game were the fielding of Taylor, third baseman for the soldiers, and the batting of Windsor. This young recruit has the making of "big league" stuff, both in his fielding and batting. He will undoubtedly make one of the best men on the team when another season rolls around, provided, of course, he has the misfortune to be here then.

Cole: "I've smoked an awful lot of cigars lately." Walker: "You're right, if that one you're smoking now is a sample." Rogers of the Library, who suffered a hemorrhage during an opera tion for tonsilitis at the hospital last week, is doing nicely. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Winick of the bakery says the pieces of bread eaten daily in the dining room, if placed end to end would make a line five thousand nine hundred and five feet long.

There are twenty-two brush daubers on the job. Visitor (to pianist Perry) Remember, my good man, that stone walls and iron bars do not make a prison. Perry: Well, they've got me hypnotized then, that's all! Coffin: "I was in a fair way for becoming a millionaire once, but a labor-saving device ruined me." Lefty: "How was that?" Coffin: "I was a bartender in a saloon and the boss bought a cash register." Khrnhardt, in explaining- German strategy, says: "The Germans took the offensive in Russia; the offensive they took in Servia; they took the offensive in Belgium, and now it is offensive in France. Alwayrs are the Germans offensive." Asbury was recently asked if he thought it right for a girl to sit in a lap, even if she was engaged. To which lie replied: "If it werr- my girl and my lap, 3res; if it were another fellow's girl and my lap, yes; but if it were my girl and another fellow's lap, never! NKVKR!" "When I was in court," said Nunley, "My attorney made a brilliant plea." He said "Your Honor, my client is a most remarkable man, an able politician, and holds a very responsible position, he is manager of thecity's waterworks." "And what did thejudye say to that?" Queried Hornan.

OH, WHAT A NIGHT! By Dick Coffin I dreamed of a prison where everything went, And nobody ever went wrong. To its romantic grounds men 3'earned to be sent; So the state's population turned suddenly "bent." They wanted to live where they needn't pay rent, Where life was considered a song. 'Twas an Eden-like spot on the banks of a lake, Where fountains threw streamlets of booze. The diet, cup-custard and porterhouse steak, Was excellent doin's and not hard to take And the beds were so downey that no one could make Any kick if they wanted to snooze. The choicest Havanas were furnished to all, And pardons were used up for lights.

Perfumed cigarettes hung around on the wall, And airships were given away ever3' fall. No alibis entered the game of baseball And the poets were dressed up in tights. A stream of champagne flowed right through the place, And snakes never cut any ice. If we wanted to dream, we could bury our face In a mountain of dope which took up quite a space 'Twas an honor to be there, instead of disgrace Oh, 1113', but you bet it was nice! The work was all done by outside volunteers, The "screws" were alfdeaf, dumb and blind; No lawyers got in there to peddle bum steers, So every five minutes we let off three cheers And we bathed in a tank filled witn ten million beers! Say! I nearly went out of my mind! Real coin of the realm grew wild on the 'trees, So no one could ever go broke. The Department of Justice lived only to please.

The kickers and knockers were hung up to freeze, And snitches were strangled with limburger cheese-But just at this point I awoke! Holy Smoke! And I found the whole works was a nightmarish joke! II II JL II TOMORROW'S GAME Up to the time of going to press, no outside team has been secured for a game tomorrow. Unless Chaplain Soldan is successful in making other arrangements, the White Sox team will play the Booker T's Saturday. In all probability, that's the program for tomorrow. BATTING AVERAGES For the information of a large number who have made inquiry we give below the baiting averages of the White Sox and Hooker T's up to date. Only the names of players still with us are given.
