The much talked of games of ball with Abilene have been "pulled oil'' and the fellows from the Belle of the Smoky have added two moro victories to their growing list. The least said about the first gamo the better. Concordia was easily out-classed at every point except in her battery, where Bouldin and Weaver played fast ball, but they could not win without some support and they had practically none.

In fact the home teatu played tho "bum-miest" game it has put up this season. Perhaps they were buffaloed. Who knows? But they couldn't bat, they could hardly stop a ball and some of thom used about as much sense in base running as a man from an institution for the feeble minded. Star engagements in the error lino were played by Harry Short, Qnigley and Moore. The first four or live innings everybody nearly playod ball but then the home push went up in the air and it was only by a scratch that they got a single run in on an error by Matteson.

The Abilene team is tho fastest Concordia has gone against. The Abilene team is composed not only of ball players, but gontlemen. Concordia Blade. BOTHA WEAKENING. Indication That He Is About to Ask Terms for Surrender.
