remarkable form yesterday and won most hollow
victory from their superior rivals. Ewing did not
play and as is usual In such the Giants did not
show enough brain work to give learned pig the
headache. The attendance was 1884 and more
disguised crowd has assembled at the new grounds
this year. The good work OF the game done BY

Wise The fumblng OF Richardson, Gore. Brown
Whitney and Tim Keefe caused shouts Of derlson from
the crowd.

rather sluggish In their work. They were eashS P"'
