"a AZ DA1,
Tho Warren Athletic Club Have a
Good Day for Once, and Made Thug.
Liveiy-They We're Greetd IA ny an
Audience of 1900.
The Warren Athletic Club held their
spring out door sports last Saturday
afternoon in the Front and Union
Park and for once had tho weather
Just as they wanted 1t. 1t made the
boys smile to see an unclouded sky
from which the sun smiled benignant-
ly upon them but IL made them smile
more to see an audience Of 1900 or
more people, 800 at least OF whom were
ladies, fiocking into the park, and fill
ing up tho seats from which they
could SEQ the sports.
Quite number OF ladies' tame out
on bicycles, showing that the time
was not far distant when they, too,
would enter the bicycle Journeys and
contest with Seeds, Elliott, hIerrihew,
Mcdaniel and other bicycle bosses for
the handsome prizes offered for the
bcst cyclers.
The grounds were in tho finest kind
OF condition. The bicycle cDurse had
been regarded and rolled and IL Is
doubtful II finer course could be
found.
The sports commenced at o'clock,
and continued without weaIiness I'M
I'll after o'clock, when tho program
was completed;
Ine festivities were inaugurated by
game of base bail between the War
rem Athletics strong team and the
Rockford team, almost invincible I'M
TIL II met tho Warren boys pm Satur-
1AV nttprnnnn ntyina tn tho
gram OF sports announced 1t was
agreed that no moro than six innings
should be played. The Rockford club
had defeated everything that came be-
fore IL this season, and IL was with
considerable confidence that they en-
tered the game with the expectation
OF hanging the scalps OF the Warren
boys to their glrdle. Ii they did think
SO they were convinced OF the error
OF their thoughts before tho game
proceeded far.
The Warren boys put up their crack
battery, Everson and Murray. and the
| Rockfords tried to match lem with
Langston and IIinkle. The latter
caught we'll but Langston made some
wild pitches as II he had got razzled.
The large audience present may have
caused this and especially Tie presence
OF SO many ladies', who seemed to be a
little partial In their applause to the
Warren Club. Langford, however,
pitched good game but Tho Warren
ers got on to his curved balls and bat
ted him over the field at n lively rate.
Each sldo. however. came In for a
| creditablo share of applause, but AT
the close OF tho six innings the Warren
boys came out with Z runs to their
credit, and tho Rockford boys with
something like this o 90 0, six
goose eggs.

tries, and Which was won by W. &.
