Very few people thought it possible
when they looked at the condition of
the streets yesterday morning, and saw
the threatening appearance of the
clouds, that there would be any attempt
to play the second game between the
Chicago and All America teams; but
the motto of the only Arson, "Ws play
wherever we're advertised. ii it's any
way possible" was the motto of the
whole party, and band which paraded
the streets at noon proclaimed that the
second game would come off as an
nounced. As a consequence there We're
400 people on the grounds at 2
| o'clock and as many more perched
on trees and vehicles. The groun cs
had been put in condtti on
half way decent by hauling down big
quantities of sawdust and sprinkling 1t
over the diamond, but out il the field
| it was almost universal lake, and the
| diamond itself was fringed all around
with sWsmps, ponds, and gullies that
gave it anything but an inviting ap-
pearauce to the players. When one of
the tielders had to take long run for
ny AS AdSAO0 lAIOUSu GuC HdlCI, lOOh-
ing quite like sea horse; and DAILY in
! making one big run, underwent regu-
lar baptism that evoked plenty of laugh
ter from the crowd.
In spite Of all drawbacks. very fine
exhibition OF ball was given, aud any
amount OF spirit was manifested by
the players on both sides. Mr.. Palmer,
the scorer, said to a HERALD reporter
that he had not seen both sides play
harder since they started out. AS for
Arson mis- laoors were Herculean, and
wnen it became evident that all the fine
playing of his boys couldn't avail
against Healy's terrific delivery and
the general fine fielding of the All
Americas he grew sharp, petulant and
finally sulky to a degree; urging his
players with all the force of words and
example to 'brace up" and finally re-
lapsing into taking issues with
the umpire, and at length tax
ing his seat in despair, mutter-
ing with a reproachtul glance at
that functionary you're giving US
a good deal the worst of it to-day" AS
for the umpire, who was Crane, the
pitcher for the All Americas in the pre-
vious game, cooler, calmer and more
imperturbable judge could not be i'm
agined. He pursued the even tenor of
his way regardless of the groWls and
kicks that arose thicker than on a local
contest where Billy Golding is abs mt:
and a case once decided. the Rock of
Gibraltar vas not more firm and i'm
movable in maintaining his position.
Once or twice, when man was out,
tempest OF cries, explanations and de-
malls arose before the umpire's decision
could be heard. His quiet Hes
out, all the same" at once
settledit. Once Arson was touched by
Van Rollien as he was sneakipg off sec
ond. Crane called out" but at the
same instant Vsa Hollien dropped the
knocked the ball out of his hand"
All-Americas, No he didn't" coolly |
replied the umpire, and there it had to |
rest.
There were several changes in the ar |
of the teams, the most not
able of which were the pitching of Healy |
for the All-America's and the catching |
of Arson for the Chlcago's. Realy |
is veritabie terror; ne has |
a wicked delivery that makes che shud-
der for the backstop, and allied with it |
is a pulling curve and down shoot. In |
one innings he retired all three men and |
gained some heavy applause. Baldwin.
who pitched for the Chicagos, was batted |
as an amateur would have been.
The score was not close at any time |
after the start. The Americas pound
Ing of Baldwin sent them too far ahead |
for their opponents to overtake them,
and the main interest of the game was |
to see the great efforts of the Chicagos |
to catch up, and the greater efforts OF |
the Americas to keep them where they |
were: the plays we're as risky and brilli- |
ant, therefore, as if thsd been NJ OK and |
neck fight, and the yells of applause |
that arose told that the exhibition of the |
national sport was immensely enjoyed, !
despite the chilliness of the day and the
under which the game |
went toward. Following is the
SCORE.
