rain. Rain drops began to fall as the Chi
csgos went to bat in the first inning, but it
did not interfere in any way With the prog

many Of whom had journeyed here solely to
see the game, and very many Of the lead

representatives present. The crowd cheered
the New Workers whenever they made
good play but became frantic in the first
and ninth innings when the Chicsgos began
their run getting, and when the last run of
the opposite club went out
