Frenchies Lose to Teutons

In an attempt to convince the Cercle Francais that a keg in the bush is entirely in a propos, not to say unnecessary, unless there is a stein in each hand, the nine good fellows of the Deutscher Verein after five hard innings took the measure of the Cercle Francais on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon to the tune of 14 to 13. The final score is more or less problematic because the last of the three umpires, about to announce the score, slipped on wet ground and broke his word. The knock-out drops of Francke and Pabst were too much for the Frenchmen who passed out repeatedly after three feeble whiffs at the pellet. The afternoon was voted a most successful one by all present.
