—_ DENVER TEAM IS TAYLORIN FIGHTING TRIMFOR EATEN, -T0-2, BY CASPER NINE Midwest Team Finds Neighbor-| hood House Aggregation Easy Pickings; No Second Game to Be Played Casper found the Neighborhood House baseball nine of Denver easy in the first game yesterday afternoon and won with hands down 9 to 2. It wasa careless fracas made more so by a muddy field. Rain fell in torrents dur- ing the first inning after Casper had scored two. Play was resumed in about five minutes but the diamond was slow, making real base running impossible. Nelson, who is not exactly Casper's best hurler, adorned the mound for the Pe home boys. He got by in good shape against the best Denver batters. He allowed six blows, fanned eight and walked but one. Nelson made them hit and, except for SAly three careless bad plays in the fleld was hacked hy good support. Casper started out by scoring four in the first. After that it was a question of how large the score would be. Yourigquist was pounded for thirteen safe ones. Hartzell, McNeill, Hayes and Nelson each hammered out two- baggers for themselves to liven up the old game. Nelson did his share at bat by get- ting two singles and a double in four trips. Bostick looked good on the sacks, getting on twice through errors _ and walking the third trip. He popped to center for the fourth attempt. He stole second in the seventh. Bostick helped the contest along by scoring three of Casper’s nino rins. Hayes Appeared in the line-up out in right field while Mills was on the job in the good old usual way in left. Hayes made two catches out in his ggrden. He: clouted @ single and double, flied out once, and got on through a fielder’s choice the fourth trip. The visitors must have had a bad ride up ftom Denyer, only Ruhlana! showing much either in the fiefa or at} bat. But the Neighborhood House play- ers cétild hot be expected to win when Casper &nnexed thirteen safe swats. Instead of the Midwest playing a second gatne as had been planned for Monday, &rrangements were being made last night to have the Midwest Cutler, former world’s heavyweight wrestling champion, will, be ready to do light “finishing” work tonight at the Casper Aathletic club starting at 8 o'clock. It will be the only chance Cas- per sport followers will have to “lamp over” the big Chicago man before the match Tuesday night in the Iris thea- ter. Cutler will be meeting Taylor in his second match with the Wyoming champion and he is going into the bat-- tle Tuesday night to win.

ENGLISHMAN IS MADE LAZY BY 'ARMY SERVICE (By United Press) LONDON — (By Mail). — Employers complain that army life has made men lazy. The demobilized soldier is not “putting his back into it’ as he did in pre-war days. Everywhere the same report is re- turned from banks, shipping houses, de- partment stores and other commercial concerns. Many managers sigh reeret- fully for the hard-working, efficient feminine staffs who “carried on” In the men’s absence and who have so quietly riven up their jobs to make room for the returned men. While some employers are ant chafe at this apparént indifference to work on the part of their clerks, oth- ers broud-mindedly make allowances for it. One city magnate who employs many men. stated his opinion as follows: “In wartime all these men were for- hidden to think for themselves. Initia- tive was a-crime. They got into the habit of waiting for orders. This method, transferred into commerce, is fatal, However, for five years it was ingrained into the men and they are not going to outgrow it all of a sud- den. They have become slothful—there’s no doubt about that. But many of them are battered men—wounded or gassed, or victims of shell-shock. What can you expect?” Meantime, employers are glad to have the young, new hlood coming into their oMces—the youths who are only just now emerging into manhood and are unspoiled and unwearied by war.
