MONEY CHANGERS NOT IN IT,
They Were Driven from the
Baseball Temple.
The BOOSTERS Scourge Their 0ppo-
nents from the Field.
Tho Score was Very Close and the Com
test Exciting from start TO Fin
ish-some of the Features
of the Game.

and huge cloud OF dust WAS also seen
arising from oyer the bleachers. The
park had not been turned into monster
poultry yard. gentle readers, it was only
the Roosters celebrating their victory
over the Bankers Baseball club. They
kicked up all the noise and dust they
could after the game was decided in
their favor and paraded about the
grounds with the most approved grand
stand strut.
The score stood to z in the Roosters
favor when the players left the field.
1t was close game all the way through
the 8 or 10 hours, more or less, that it
lasted. 1t was nip and tuck between
them as to who should make the most
errors; they didn't care about the runs.
or the base hits, they were unnecessary
Injuries. AT the conclusion OF the
game it was hosa and hoss between the
two teams as to which should be cred
tied the 26 out of the 81 errors. Verify,
it was game fit for the year one.
But the most pleasant feature of the
whole proceedings was the presence Of
the young ladies in the grand stand.
This part Of the crowd WAS composed of
the prettiest feminines in the city.
They were not lacking in enthusiasm
either. Every good play was applauded
they applauded about once during the
wearing glasses, thumped the end of her
parasol 80 hard against the floor as to
break the stick in two.
a. haa1khr IN
Angeles bleacher crowd was there too.
Not very many OF them turned out. but
those who did were holy terror.
They joshed everybody, neither the
guilty nor the innocent escaping. New
names were given to the majority OF the
players. When Pauly first stepped to
the bat and made two vain attempts to
strike the ball, fellow in the bleachers
yelled, "Hey der, Scissors, you can't
hit ncthin.'" Then it was that Mr.
Pauly was the recipient of applause.
The crowd juet showered it on him
and ratified him so that he ended by
striking out.
"Boney'' Way played a good game at
times, but fell down on inopportune
occasions.
Lsande had Is cents bet on the Roos-
ters, which so disconnected him that he
couldn't throw to sacond base to save
his life. The prettiest shape on the
field, however, was the one that held
down right field for the Roosters. Nice,
fat and jolly was Mr.. Carter, and to see
the calm way he would wait until the
bali struck the ground and then take it
on the bound was refreshing, q hoary
haired reminder OF the good old ball
times way back in the '70s.

most thoughtful plays in one of the
incest and most thoughtful oi games.
A nice, easy pop fly was knocked out
in his domain near the zanja. The lord
fret thought he would take it on the
fy. but then decided to fool the runner
and let Mitch Shields share with him
the glory OF the put out, so he caught
the ball on the bounce and threw it like
a fash to second base. The runner had
not reached first base even, but the lord
thought he might get to second during
that inning, and didn't want it 20 be on
his poor play, 30 he held him to the first
bag, while the crowd arose as one per-
con and cheered Cartleroy to the echo.
The most graceful base runner in the
crowd was J. V. Watched, the first base
man OF the Bankers. He had the
cutest little juvenile squat about half q
foot off the base you ever saw, his
base running being marvellous. One
time he stole from first to second base in
just minutes 321a seconds.
Van Der beck was there too, and wore
ravishing linen shirt covered with big
red polka dots. He pitched for while,
but ae he was better fielder he was put
at second, where he caught 25 fies-on
his ball playing. l.. O. Smith, the
Bankers catcher, q youRg man with o
circus lemonade voice, did most of the
coaching for his side; but after the first
were good enough, so let them kick UP
the fues.
Harry "Laydown' Heffrer pitched fol
the Bankers and did not stint bis gifts o.
base on balls to the Roosters.

good plays. A case of having put QUIT

made those pretty plays. 1t was great
Mitch Shields covered more ground thar
any other man-when he fell down
which was several times during th'
game.
+. w. Hoppsrstead, out in left field
was the came old trusty as of yore. M
matter whether he struck out, he alway
ran to first Just the same as If he hat
made three bagger.
Billie Edwards had nothing to do bu
stop wild throws over the second base
MANS head OF course he could hav,
made just as many errors as the res
did but be did't have the chance.
Dick Mcknight handled the ball as |
it was piece Of Japanese bric.a-brac
but he got there in good shape will
about-say-fve errors.
Harry German held down third, bu
could probably have hit the ball oftene
if he had had tennis racquet.
Joe Bumillef looked rather lopsidet
with one black and one red stocking on
His playing also had similar appear
