are not ours" was the plsintive little
manner in which Captain Boney Way of
the Bankers baseball team explained
the defeat of his club yesterday by the
BOOSTERS. In fact he was very like the
boy the chicken had kicked-he had
nothing more to say.
Unlike the previous games, the
BOOSTERS quit kicking at the poor um-
pire and kicked their spurs into the
Bankers yesterday IA times. The poor
money changers could stick their quilts
into the BOOSTERS but 10 times, and
that was the score by which the gay
birds won.
Indeed they are grouped in the right
division of nature but the name OF Jays
would have been more appropriate than
BOOSTERS. The Bankers we're Jay too,
and the playing of the two teams was
ABOUT boss and boss, and that 10 putting
it as strongly as possible.
The game yesterday was characteris-
tic. The same rank plays we're made
by both teams and there was just as
much fun as before.

the previous contests but the interest
was at the accustomed white heat. The
grand stand was occupied by large
number of young and pretty ladies who
vociferously screamed at opportune and
inopportune moments during the game.
Along the top seat OF the bleachers were
strung some of the enthusiastic fans.
They are generally supposed to be adj
mirers OF the national game but in its
feathery disguise Of yesterday they fail
ed to recognize it. However, they yell
ed just the same and did the coaching
for both teams.
A majority OF the regular players were
there but several new faces were TO be
seen. Boney Way WAS there in his
bathing suit. VanDerbeck and his red
polka dots, and Garter with his avoir-
dupois. Scissors Pauley didn't want to
be joshed again go tried to disguise the
scissors part Of him in pair of big, 'ex-
ira padded boomers, but it didn't go.
The crowd was on to him and gave him
hearty reception when be came to the
bat.
Every body in fact was warmly re-
ceived and each OF the BOOSTERS was
presented with bouquet of sweet pea
blossoms. The Bankers got no flowers.
This apparent little oversight needs an
explanation. The two captains OF the
teams consulted last week and desired
that as the funds were very low every
man could not receive flowers, 20 they
decided to pool matters. Hopperstead
said that he thought one bouquet might
do for both teams with which Bucklin
and Way heartily agreed. But now the
hitch came. The Bankers thought that
as a majority of the players were or had
been members of the Bachelors club
orange blossoms would be the proper
thingM But mol Hop thought that
would give some of them away and sug-
guosted Bweot poas. The other captains
would not have it. They wanted orange
blossoms or nothing at all. Hop 6ared
up and said he guessed he knew what
he was about 80 then and there declined
to pool with the Bankers. The money
chargers decided not to give any flowers
at all so Hops nine carried off the dec
orations.
At the game Hop was the first man to
bat, but he had arranged it previously
30 Just after he had had three wild balls
thrown to him and then had two strikes
called, go that he had q nice, pleasant
look on his face-one that would have
been the delight OF pbotographer-up
waltzed Billy Edwards with the bouquet
of sweet peas. Hop then had the UNI
pire call time and, after bowling to the
grand stand, handed the flowers to Billy,
who took them back and put them on
ice. The game was then resumed.
After Hop mad cleared the bases he
did the bouquet rushing, and did it we'll,
showing that be had had practice in that
respect. Finally the crowd caught onto
the business about the fifth inning, so
Hop quit posing as the bright-faced
flower waiter and settled down to make
more errors.
Billie Edwards was remembered,
however, by one of his lady friends.
who sent him q neat bundle of mild
found in soup, but the BOOSTERS served
them TO the Bankers, however.
Mr.. Welcome was behind the bat for
the Bankers. His ideas are very ele-
vated, as may be known and so was his
throwing to bases yesterday.
Way played good game at short.
Rudy Teale made a fine running
catch, as did Edwards and Hopper
stead.
Ielande did the batting Of the day.
The other men did their share OF brill
liant playing too.
There were two umpires, and both were
little men. The ons who wore a short
coat and a crease in his pants never
spoke above whisper. The other had
very smooth articulation, without
wrinkle in it. Very juvenile and mild.
He did much better than his contem-
porary, however, as the crowd heard
him once during the afternoon.
The men on the coaching line all had
circus lemonade voices too, go talked to
themselves. for which the crowd was
very thankful.
After the game was concluded the
crowd adjourned to the faucet and had
one with the umpires.
The HERALD had employed bright
faced young man to score, but he fell in
with some Young ladies, and up to the
hour of going to press had failed to ma
terialize. However, the teams were COM
posed an follows:
