''And it remiindls me of miarriage,"' sIhe retorted ; ''first the dIiamiond(, w~here they are engaged ;then the struggles and hits, thlen thle men goinig out, and finally the ditlicuilty they have in getting home."' And he sat andI thought. TWO COMER BATTLES . WENT WRONG WAY Carolina Lost Pair of Games to the Leaguers-The Box Scores Tell How it Was Done. The Comers beat Carolina twice.
