taken sweet revenge on Buffalo this week for two
esnes lost in Bisonyille, aud completed the chaiu

innings and aotive feld-work. The Buftalos played
nervopsly at the outset but settled down to buet-
pess tn the latter part Of the game. In the frat
inning Of the G1eys eight men went to bat. six

The aeyenty-dya hour walk for the O'Leasy belt
brought to successful close last night II ~
O'Clock, the four men in the leading positions be-
ing as follows: George Parry. 2GS miles; George
Dobles, 263 miles; john Banks, 254 miles; John
Sherry, 243 miles.
During the evening 8 rumor gained cur
rency to the effect that pepper had been thrown in
the eyes Of Grassland, who was accompanying
Parry on the track, and the story assumed giean-
tic proportions BY the time it had travelled
three blocks from the building. An inves-
tigation OF the nffatt revealed the
fact that the eyes Of the alleged injured man were
in frst-class condition. Capt Turtle claimed that
pacsage Of red pepper had been picked up on the
track just after It was thrown Grassland, but
body could be found to verify the story. II the
pepper WAS thrown, it did not reach Crosslaud's
eyes.
The crowd was simply immense, not less than
