FATS COUP
THE CHAMPIONS
Regular Valdez Team Goes Down
to Defeat Before Invincible
Heavyweights
Tin* Valdez ball leani was smil
ing, so was Bush when he wont
to bat and knocked out a two-bag
feer, then made third on an error.
Everybody on the team with the:
exception of Day and Mr. Newly
wed landed on the ball and each
of them made a run that, inning
count them seven. Bishop's face
looked like lie had swallowed a
lemon, maybe it wasn't a lemon;
it might have been something else,
that Bishop swallowed, anyway
hi" face looked like-it always
does. Bishop wanted to start the
game over again. . Seven runs to
the good and Bunnell in the air.
Now, watch that smile come off.
That wicked smile sure did dis
appear. Think of it! seven goose
feggs in the other eight innings.
Bush likes eggs, be says, but hi'
thought' seven was too many.
After the first, when he retired,
the bijr boys without a run, anil
Kelsey was bit hard, lie could not
slop them no more than that old
uoek slopped Hie Mariposa when
slir started f«»r Archibald's.
While we have that lime li^hl
going turn it on Johnny Kacer
osky. Did you see him miss ev
ery chance. Not one iliil he get
away with. He niu'sl have bet on
the fats. I low* about it, Johnny?
Keep that light on Bunnell. As
usual, he was the whole team.
That lawyer man learned to play
when be was a boy and can't for
get. Three or four of the boys
were taught how* to play ball in
the Valdez jail. The Valdez team
haven't learned yet. Some of you
get six months and then Harwy
Sullivan will mnke ball play.»r< out
of >•».»• i. Try it, Parke.
Speck was there with the catch
ing and kicking also, but they
rould not feaze Davis, the umpire.
1Ie made them all shut up. Bish
op was still for three second<,
and Im missed 17 chances and was
put out six times.

II i- a fad that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor yon know. Yald<»z beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll lind we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unqueslionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in I he growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
