SHOULD BASEBALL BE ABOLISHED' The baseball bugs at Hawk-Eye beard a rumor to the effect that there was an outfit at the G Ieason Works that was crying for punishment. With the greatest confidence on both sides, a three-game series was arranged- winner to take all, or rather as much as it was possible to get. The prize was a very large size bottle of cod li ver oil. Hawk-Eye journeyed up to the Gleason Diamond for the first game and copped the pastime 16-3. Things looked pretty rosy. The Gleason boys responded by going down to the home diamond and smearing us 9-2, during which game they pasted the ole apple with the utmost recklessness and abandon. Great gobs of gloom settled down over the lens­ makers. With a fighting spirit born of desperation the Hawk-Eye team went into enemy territory and grabbed the deciding game 7-0. To celebrate the glorious victory a party was held at the German House, at which the Hawk-Eye team were the guests of their late opponents. The re­ freshments were described as being excellent. They were enjoyed the more because they were furnished by the pride of the Gleason Works. The usual after-dinner speeches were indulged in .
