and the Lake was crowded with small
boats. The steamers also did rushing
business.

rally lntertered with the fleldng OF
the ball, and as a consequence the held
ing OF both clubs was not up 10 Their
usual standard, and several men got
bases on hits that were anything but
safe ones. The peanut and pop corn
