well. Two sections in the grand stand had
been set apart for their USE and we're

In the red bordered stall sat the the most

sake, II not for their own.
1t was utterly impossible to get this Young
man mixed up with the Pacific Unions, as
not the faintest shade of blue could bp de-
tected i'll bis makeup. He had red BAN
dana handkerchief sticking out Of his pock-
ct and wore bunch OF red posjes in his
buttonhole. red balloon was tethered
with red string 10 his hat-band and his
hands were encased in red gloves. He wore
red necktie. red celluloid cuff buttons, and
kept score In little red book with red
lead pencil. Ever and anon he took bite
out of red popcorn ball, and a red Maltese
cross dangled from his watch chain.
His hair was red, his eyes bloodshot and
from the remarks he let fall from time to
time it was plain to be seen that he was a
well-read young man. His face was also
red from excessive shouting.
Even with this mascot the Rohemians
couldn't win. and the worst of it was il

the game to shuck himself of his red adorn-
ments and appear in public as n neutral.
However, he had defined his position, and

WITH AND WITHOUT WHISPERS,
In the preliminary practice the b.
hemians showed to the best advantage and
odds were offered in their favor They
were sturdy band of athletes, with and
without whlskers, and deported themselves
like professionals. First Baseman Story
wore beautiful growth of vermillion al
fal1as, which extended principally from the
point of his chin. He had also thought
fully provided himself with a glove ike
road-scraper, which rendered him valuab Bile
assistance in scooping up w-thrown balls.
Center-telder Bonner supplied the whiSkers
for the other side.
Another thing in favor of the Bohemians
was the truly professional cut OF their
pitcher, Lieutenant Stevens, u. S. a. He
wore his shirt sleeves decoIlete, and his
arms were like the aims of Esau, who
dwelt in tent At some time in his ca
reer Mr.. Stevens must have seen G. Cobb
pitch before he was fired by Hank Harris,
because he wore on his right arm one of
those knit rubber thlngumbobs to keep him
from slipping an eccentric in his elbow
when he delivered q speedy ball. Mr..
Stevens also had a regular pitchers shoe
with brass on the toe.
On the other hand the Pacife-U MONS did
not show up so well in pI actice, even though
Pop SWEET has been teaching a class in base
bali for over week past. The benefit OF
their schooling, however, became apparent
later on. Some one had also been instruct
ing the others. just who it was is not
known, but from the way they started out
and then lost the game through a series of
frightful bunsles their instructor could
have been none other than the great Colonel
Robinson, he of 102 defeats.
FAVORABLE START.
At o'clock the trouble commenced. with
the Bohemans at bat Umpire Mcdonald

first inning occupied considerable time.
Pitcher Bosqui couldn't get his arm to
work. In fact it bothered him all through
the game, and he gave the opposing bats
men nine bases on balls. There were three
in the first, which, with errors, gave the
B0hemians four runs, which is more than
they would have got had they hit the ball.
Stevens, DePue, Stallings and Chase made
the circuit.
Then the Unions took turn. Eyre was
fired up and was given base He stole
second and was sacrificed to third by Buurn.
SWEET hit double to left, scoring Eyre, Pop
crossing the plate on Ralston's drive to right.
In the second for the Bohemians Bosqui
put the ball over the plate and they landed
their bats against 1t for two singles, one
double and five runs. 1t looked like a walk
over for the Reds when the Unions failed
TO score in their half of the second.
The third was blank for the Bohemians,
but in their half the Unions chased in three.
Stevens gave Eyre, BOurn and SWEET their
base and Bnsqui came along with double
over third base that sent all three home.
Bonner was hit by the pitcher, Kittls sac
Iifced and Atherton got his base again,
filing the circuit Here was a beautiful
chance for more runs, but Boyd struck out,
leaving his three associates stranded.
WHERE THEY WON IT.
In the fourth the BOhemians secured one
tally, which gave them lead of 10 to 5.
Then Pitcher Stevens arm got tired and
the management called Mr.. Chase over
from third base and put him in the box.
MIR. Chase was chased back again after
twelve men had gone to bat in the fourth
inning and pasted him for total of seven
hits and nine runs. They might have had
more tallies had not Pop Swstt been caught
mapping at second by the catcher.
The BOhemianS never recovered from this
blow. Stevens went back to the box for
couple of more innings, during which the
enemy secured five runs. Pop had his
pupils well in hand and under his skillful
guidance they managed TO make their way
around the bases without the aid OF hits.
In the seventh the Unions developed a bat
ting streak and punched in four runs, but
we're still long way behind.
Center-felder Small relieved Stevens In
the sixth and made quite a strike-Out record.
settling two ambitious batSmen. Stevens
covered second base in fine style and exc
cuted neat double play unasssied. In
the next ne made two great fly catches but
not until after the Unions had scored three
runs.
IL was almost dark when the tired club
men finished the game. Stallngs scored
the last run for the Bohemians In the ninth
on base on balls, steal and couple of
errors. Following is the score:
