oils just ike she ought to have taken the
first, without turning hair
Tho usual Sunday crowd was out-four
thousand or thercabouts and they were out
for the stun and they got it, and got it carly.
The Lambs cuchcd victory ia the opening
inning.
Hy Hacn, the owner Of the Munlcs, was in
the reporters box, and he pulled hard for his
pets, but it was like pulling against the winds
Of Fortune useless.
It was a grounding case with the Lambs
they mad TO win.
Jocko IIallgan was the first man TO face
Mr. Bartson, who many moons ago pitched
for the Omahas That was in the days OF
Philbin's regime
Well, Ialgau got his base on balls, again
exempifying the old axiom that everything
comes 10 a man who waits.
Jocko was not kept in suspense long for
cold Cy,n despite the fact that he went be-
hind the plate minus a section Of his throw
ing finger made picturesque buut, beating
the ball TO first
Then the Sunday crowd began their sere-
made, and when Tho Commodore duplicated
"Old Cys' nice work, you'd a-thought the
Marine bard was on the grounds the air
was so chuck full of melody
The bases full and no one out. good
time TO let off your surplus steam, wasn't NJ
But there were better things to come.
Jimmy Donnclly took his position at the bat
with sardonic grim playing around hls
lovely mouth, and BartSOn grew cary.
He didn't like the MCphistopOlean grim,
and refused TO give Jimmy a whaCk at her.
The consequences were, that he went to
first on four wide ones, and Halligan was
forced across the pan.
Here lily ilach used an expression that no
gentleman would use in the presence of
reporters.
lie said 1t was the dodgastedest piece Of
jasackica engineering he had ever seen in all
his born days.
That's what Fly said
Then when Sandy Griffin whanged out n
handsome old rose Jwo-saCkGr, he stuck the
wrong end of his cigar in ms mouth-he act
ualy SwOre.
And how red d-headed he was when Sutcliffe,
tho Commodore and Jimmy came fling in
over the plate
But the spectators didn't care u picayune
for Hys feelings. They were the very spirit
and essence of mirthful joyousncss.
When IL comes to sentiment on ball
ground, 1t is more likely to find lodgment
with the humble, unnoticcd, impeCUnious
throng pcckng through the knot holes in the
fence than among the revengefnl and pitiless
cranks OF the grand stand and bleachcrs.'
But Mr. Hach was not oven yet through
his excruciating ordeal, for after Manager
Danny had been thrown out at first by His
Gaspipclets, Mr.. Earl, MoXie Hcngle en-
deavorcd to make Joe Walsh's grounder run
up his leg, but failed, ana the result was that
Sandy came in with the fifth run and Joe
lodged safe on bag No |.
Here, however, Hy's nightmare ended
Eiteljorg touled out to Darling and Hnlligan
ms second une at the bat-was thrown out
nj first.
Mr.. Murphy, Hach's Dutch middle fielder,
was quickly disposed of by Donneiy and
McCauley as starter for the Minnies.
Then McQuadc just imported from tho
slope, flied out to Twtchell, and 1t rcsembled
an egg lemonade for our friends from the
uorth.
But my, how full OF surprises and uncer-
tanties the great game is.
Minnehan only occupied a second or two
IN striking out, but "Old Cy'' let the third
sash-shay get away from him, and Minny
was safe
That's how a man can strike out, and yet
be in 1t.
Ddn' know that, did you1 Well it is so,
Mr., Ryn next took his position at the bat,
without saying word.
Swish
"Onc strikcw said the umpire.
But the dummy was impcrturbable. The
next ball split the rubber, but Ryn wasn't
looking for it.

This made the dummy very irate and he
turned upon the Judge advocate and every
he had left his slate and pencil upon the
piano and had to remain mute.
Yet you could see that he meant business,
aud tho next ball Eddie cut loose, landed
against the left field fence
1t scored Minnohan and put Mr. Ryn on
second where he stood tickling bimself
under the arm and nodding to Eiteliorg
Walsh failed to scoop up Shugarts dust
distributor quick enough aud Shug reached
first and the dummy third
On the next ball pitched Brother Shupart

Cyn threw to Wash to catch hIm, and
Walsh, WHO Is up to SNUFF, know what was
expected of him, and without rs much as n
glance at Shugart he returned the ball like
shot to "Old Cy" and the dummy was nailed
ut the plato,
But it was a "ccse shave" as Adam Nor
rell remarked to Judge Lake, and is II play
too dangerous to experiment with.
1t worked this time, however, like charm,
and there's no kick coming,
"Old Cy' began the second with his second
safe one, and Notwithstanding his finger was
so sore you could almost hear it thump iu
the grand stand, he burglod second.
lie did this by laying down when about
twenty feet from tho base and stretching out
his arm grabbed the bag with his dexter

Then the people whooped again They
were so glad To see Old Cy steal something

That was ono of the double plays YOU read
about IN Tolstois novels.
MIR Shugart had to doT his cap again and

that greeted his mary elous work, and all
through tho game thereafter he was a prime

IL was dreary blank for the visitors.
