The I.iiiy-HeaIy Game stops with an
Even Score.
If the spectators were disguised, still
they could not but be amused, yesterday
at the game of so called base ball between
the Healys, Of this city, and the Lilies, Of
Rrllaire, for 800 q side. The game came
of at the Fair grounds in the presence OF
about 200 spectators. For while all went
along well and as the boys are fair players
it Was worth looking at, but soon a kick
sIote and then it was scene OF coarse
pickering and qusrreling until they quit
playing. The Lilies got little lead and
at the beginning Of the Sixth inning the
score stood TO 6 in their favor. In the
next inning. the Hesley's got a man on
first and he was brought in by rafting
two baser to centre, by Butcher McGan-
non. This tied the score and in the next
inning blSnks were earned on both sides.
At this iuncture there was kick on the
pitchers on both sides. Neither OF these
ibrowers occupied the box, and neithg
would. The Lilies were in the field snd
one of the HeaIeys lay on the grass and
guyed the Bellaire pitcher, saying he,
''ciimb up bis back" The little south.
paw" retored that he wouldn't climb up
his back this day" And so it went on.
Why can't they play ball and act ke msn.
ard not so much swearing and pickering!
Finally, in the eighth inning, Umptre
Deegsp, of Bellaire. tried to make the Hei-
lPy's pitcher deliver the bali from the box
This individual objected to dictatIon, aud
wouldn't play, and the game ended in
grand kick, the score standing even:
Then there was a general cry and howl,
and several Bellaire men wanted to bet ary
sum, from a million up, on their boys, aud
in the midst of the general wrangle the
crowd got off The grounds.

in and told Captain Albaugh, OF the Capitol

in q cool manner: why, that's nothing;

HuLroY, Pa, September 29.-The wealth
er to-day was all that could be desired. The
wind is a little high, but is subsiding, and
the water is comparatively smoo'h. The
result of yesterdays races has increased
the interest, and the attendance to-day is
the best of any previous day. The first
race called was the final heat of the con.
ISOLATION race. A start was made at LAO P.
NJ, Priddy in the lead, TenEyck second,
and
CIator Bringing up the Rear.
At the three quarters TenEyck passed
Priddy and turned the buoy two lengths
in the lead. Coming home the distance
was increased but Pndiy spurted and
nearly closed the gap. At the three uar'
ters Clayton stopped rowing and pulled TO
the shore. In the last quarter TenEyck
forged ahead again and won easily with
Priddy several lengths behind; time 22:22.
At2 o'c'ock stiff breeze came up and
the river soon presented the appearance OF
of minihture sea The Vt terans came out
for the final heat, but were sent back to
await smoother water. At 4 o'clock the
wind had nearly subsided. and the judges
decided to call out
The Four Dared Crews
for the final heat. When the word was
given the Bostols went to the front, with
the Queen Citys a close second, the Mutuals
third and the Celtios fourth. This position
was maintained until near the buoy, when
The Queen Citys took the lead, but it was
only for moment, as the Bostons shot
ahead at the three quarters and from that
point 10 the finish kept widening the gap at
every stroke and coming in winner by
seven lengths; the Queen Citys second and
the Mutuals third. Time 1905.
The final heat of the
Consolation Race
was next called, and Riley, BriCeland, Ten
EyCk, Lee, PIaisted and Priddy got away
in good shape. Lee led at the start, but
Ten Eyck passed him before the buoy was
reached and came home one length ahead
If Priddy; Riley third and Briceland
fourth. Time, 2l:55.
When the race was finished the wind
was blowing again aud the water was so
rough that several boats swamped. All
the other races were postponed until Mon
day.
