hsng them up in their rooms like germsn
fsyors or the souvenirs of tiirtations.
Casr!is ssys prize has been offered for
the best score kept by lady through the
season. In other places they let
women in c: haf-pIlce, or for
nothing, sud coax them to
c)me. l don'S see why women can't sp-
plcud. As audiences tney are Eot nsg-
ue;ic ald the players seem 20 need the
support Of men who can stamp and yell.
There IVES grassy spsce with lot OF
paths sud bare places. Charlie asked me
If hsd never heard OF the diamond, sEd
told me that Wss it. think hs said the
bare places were the bases and the paths
were the runs. There were large besn
bsgs lying On esch OF the bases. There
were some men prscticlng who, ne said,
we're the Detroits. I can't remember
how they we're dressed, because they
were so much ou!shone by the Caicsgos.
There were great many iDysllds in the
sudlence, and they AL brought air cush-
ioEs, dsrker than Sny l had ever seen, but
| suppose thst WAS SO they would not
soil EASILY.
WAS TOLD
that the ground is near the Westinghouse
Home, and that lhe physicians let the
stouter patients come for recreation, Just
So Mrs. Sherwood said come OF the pa
lients st AK les Baius were sent TO the
Casino for amusement by the physicians
there. But the sir cushions did loOk fun
ny enough. Lemonade wss passed around
in those queer old tin things they used TO
use on railroads when l was child.
Charlie said they bought the lot st & re-
ductiOu from the Chicago, Burlington and
Qalncy. There were bananas xnd chew
lag gum for sale, too. One Of the men
offered me chewing gum. hsven's
the slightest idea what bss-
ilisk is, but l imagine l locked
like one, for l do hope, wis :ar
are nv personsl defects, that have not
the appearance OF a person who chews
gum. There was a red-headed young
man IN frost of US who sat next gray
haired gentleman In shiny brosdcloth and
rusty silk hat. There was very hand
some man who sat next to Charlie. He
was well dressed aud wore gold-rimmed
glasses and carried cane. Charlie said
ne Was q newspaper man. He was nice
looking, but he gro1ned so much he made
me tired 1t Was when he was excited.
A little while after we were seated the
band marched across the gr und and es-
cOrted the Chlcagos to their places.
There was tremendously loud cheering,
and they did look very pretty.
THkY WORE WHITE SUITS,
with black belts, black caps, and swallow
tailed coats, ana stepped along with all
the airy grace Of chorus in opera bcu1e.
There WAS msle iufsnt carrying q pair
OF swollen gloves, and . gentleman Ia 8
quit of elephants breath-clOth with 8
cap Of the same colCr. BE walked with
the proud. eupercilious ease of head
waiter st Kiusley's; Charlie said lie WAS
the umpire. They marched to their
places and took If their coats
which were too fAppy in their skirts
for breezy day, l suppose. In their
white Jersey suits they were like the
models at the Art las itute. The bell
rang presently and some men from both
sides wslked over and stood around in
the paths and bare places. One had on
huge gloves with humps on the backs
like bread poultices. Another put sort
OF g cage over his face ard covered his
breast with what looked Ike the under
| side OF turtles shell. Cherlie said il
was his liver psd; but it was the largest
| liver pad l ever sew, and can't under
stand why he should have worn it
outside Of his clothes, unless II was very
strong. The umpire looked out Of cage,
| too, as il he was quite used to it. He
stood behind the one they called the
| catcher and did everything but catch. At
the beginning the pitcher stood with the
oall balanced on his frger tips like a
woman giving the Flushing touches to an
apple dumping. He gave kick like
some of the steps in the "HighInnd
Fling" and threw.
THE BATTER HIT IT,
and the catcher jumped up like 8 hen
| picking bug from the top leaf of goose
berry bush. Charlie called the ball s
fowl, and guess that was the reason.
