Home Game.
on Saturday afternoon the August Flower
and Sanders clubs, which were recently or
ganized, played their first game at McGrann's
park. An audience of several hundred were
present. the majority being small boys, as
they had no school and the admission was
Free The August Flower is composed EN-
tirely of men. The members Of the Sanders
are all boys ranging in years from ID to 20,
and some of them are scarcely as heavy AZ
the bats with which they tried to work There
was not much science in the game, but ii
created lots of fun The efforts of some Of
the players, and especially those of the older
club, to hit the ball were laughable. The
sympathy of the audience was largely with
the younger nine and when one Of the old |
ones struck out a yell arose that would |
put Buffalo Bil's "Wild Vest in fog. The |
Sanders club showed good work in the field |
and made several pretty double plays, but |
their opponents were too heavy at the bat If |
| the young fellows had a couple of good hit |
| ters thoy would be able TO show up a great
| deal stronger. The remarks of the audience
during the game were very laughable. Many
| of them were shot mt the umpire, but all
| agreed that he played about the best game
| OF any man on the field Both mines
| wore new and very pretty uniforms and the
| audience was dazzled at times by their bril-
liancys The score by innings, Of this contest
