THE GRAND FNTRFE
Il was haif-pasE three when the players
of both clubs dashed from Newark ave-
nue. into Oakland avenue into two four
horse tally-ho coaches The teams
ciambered down from their perches at the
gate OF the park, and ten minutes later
were practicing on the field. The Nc
LauRhlins wore black suits, knicker-
booker breaches and black stockings and
caps. The O'Neills gam boiled about in
white suits and caps and req stockings
The O'Neill team consisted Of Feeney
mot John p, Willis, Cummings, Langan,
Dooley. In the MeLaughlins were
DUMP, Cassidy, Lane. Donigan, Con-
nelly, McCormac, Donovan, Fleming and
Sheridan. They were all good men, but
the friends of the Macs claimed that the
0s were comprised Of professionals. This
assertion was heard everywhere and de-
MED IN as many places.
Before the game was called Manager
Jimmy Braden Of the 0s and Manager
Billy Quinn 81 the Macs met to agree on
referee. Niaprger Braden was wroth
and he accused Manager Quinn Of filing
the Macs with professionals. Manager
Quinn denied thu helnous allegation and
acc1sed Manager KEaden Of packing his
team like a we'll organized Grand Jury.
When each had become satisfied that his
opponents were the Giants In disguise, IT
was determined that no mere finite INTEL
Hgence would enable man to umpire
the important game all alone. and so with
mutual feeling Of extreme generosity
the two managers decided on TWO UNI
pires to look after the two clubs and Sc
lected Ed. Whelan and John DAILY for the
perilous positions.
TEDDY WANTS A CTNcH
The O'Neills went TO the bat first, and
when the manly form of Feenev mot
John P went 70 the bat, Teddy Carroll
in an ecstRcy OF enthusiasm shouted
zone to two on the Osi'
This munificent offer was not accepted,
and Teddy with sudden and nervous
enlargement OF the heart went three to
fiyeD the same way. There was not 8
single response and Teddy carried his
odds away to the north end of the stand
where the friends Of the Macs congre-
gated
At this moment Con. Healy asked
Charlie Jordan why he did not umpire
the game. Charles reply indicated that
he had reasons.
Because said he. s'there are too
many bats heren Charles haste saved
him from disaster.
Then the photograph man got in his
work. The Macs and Os were trans
ferred to imperishabie print. and 50 were
the smiles of the crowd on the grand
stand.
Feeney distinguished himself by going
half way to first base aud then returning.
Willis made base hit and Cummings,
the ancient manager of the buried Jersey
Cities, struck out. Landon done about as
well, and the Macs howled with glee
skunk"
Dunn for the Macs came TO the front.
he made q run, and so did Cassidy.
Lane went out and Donigan got a tally.
These three runs drove the Macs into a
bugging condition, and the Os looked sad.
The second inning was another blank Tor
the o. and they looked sadder. Fleming
OF the Macs got in a run, TO the disgust OF
the Os. The third inning was just as dis
astrous for the Os as the preceding ones,
and resulted IN a blank. The Os got back
at the Macs this time and did not allow
them to score.
The fourth inning was a repetition OF
the goose egg business for the Oss and
the Macs howied with glee, but they
failed 10 serve when they went 10 the
bat
The Os became weary of this work IN
the fifth inning, and secured three tallies.
which caused great glee among them.
The Macs got nothing, and in the sixth
the Os got no more. The Macs got one.
In the seventh inning the Mac were
demoralized and the o. scored i've more
runs and the Macs none
This is the score BY innings:
