BROOKLYN TX. LII z: NEW YORK IN. LA
It was afbeautiful day yesterday for base ball.
The sun shone brilliantly. and 1t helped to
bring out thousands of the lovers OF the great
national game. Especially was this true at
Washington Park, Brooklyn. 1t was the first
contest between tho New York and Brooklyn
IN. IL Clubs. The great rivalry that exists
between the metropolis and the city across the
bridge manifested itself. and the swarm Of
people who went to Washington Park looked
for game for blood. And It was game for
blood. too. Manager Mutrie decided that for
once he would show himself to e the peorle" as
Q manager. and he consequently took a seat
on the bench with his players. He pulled his
moustaoke as Of yore ct the most trying times
hoping against hope for the base hits that
never came.
President Byrne was jubllant, not so much
because his team won, but on account Of the
large attendance. why" he said, this is
the finest crowd We have had on these grounds
In many month, and at an increased price OF
admission. Could anything be moro signif-
cant rs to how the people In Brooklyn look
upon us2" In fact, Mr.. Byrne may we'll have
felt proud. for the turnstiles showed that 3774
persons were on the grounds
The game was q splendid one Nobody had
any fault to find with It Many thought 1t
would be good chance to compare the show
ing the New Yorks made with that made by
last years team. The fact is, no comparison
could be made with any degree OF accuracy
for Brooklyn did not have out its strongest
team. neither did Manager Mutrie. Still the
Brooklyns are In much better condition than
they were last fall Caruthers is in magnih-
cent form. and he did great work.
The Now Yorks put up a splendid game
Every man played as IL the result OF the game
depended upon his individual efforts. One no.
