"Red" Meyers, Commodores’ hurler, allowed only one hit anil threw enough strikes past the Delphos batters to establish a strike-out record, but the limp, who was a home-towner. just couldn't, keep from yelling "ball.” and as a result eleven bases on halls were charged against “Red.” The Commixtures Collected seven safe hits and played good enough ball to defeat the Buckeyes any day. In spite of the fact that the umpiring was of the brand that used to cause a shower of pop bottles, "Red” Meyers held his head and pitched one of t.he best games of his career. Delphos fans apologized for the poor exhibition of umpiring after /the game was over. The Commodores started things off by scoring four runs in the first inniug. F. Mylott fanned and J.

After four innings had passed and Delphos players hadn’t made a hit, they decided io let their bats rest on their shoulders and let the ump do irs stuff. And he didn't do anything else but. One run waa walked in during the fifth frame. Delphos scored the tying and winning runs in the last of the seventh. Klansing walked and Burnett fanned. Scherger got Delphos’ only hit of the game, a single between right and center. The hit scored Klansing. Brittingham fanned. Sorg dropped Hauf's J’y and Scherger came home wi'Ji the winning run.

Ex-Service Men and Women IMPORTANT! DURING the World war Uncle Sam supplied every doughboy with life insurance at less than its cost to the government. More than $39,000,000,000 of insurance was taken out by 4,500,000 service men and women. These policies were originally issued on the yearly renewable term plan. After the war you could convert them into policies on a level premium such as is used by America’s large life insurance companies at the government’s special rate. But —many policies were allowed to lapse—and now the government offers those who allowed their policies to lapse, a final chance to restore this protection to their families with life insurance at rates below actual cost. All service men and women may have their insurance re-instated by the payment of one month’s back premium when accompanied by a certificate of good health which any physician may give. * The Necessary Arrangements Must Be Made Before July 2, 1927 You Have Earned This Right—Don’t Neglect it!
