Washington and Louisville clubs were the home
runs of Mcclure and Dufee, the sensational
catch Of Brown in center field. the absent
mindedness Of Pitcher Abbey, the umptring Of
Mitchell. the kicking Of the visiting club and
the display Of good Judgment by Manager Ir-

last Fourth of Jrly a year ago in banging the
ball over the left-eld fence against the hospital
building and little Duhee, not to be outdone,
lifted pretty one over the right-feld fence
