THE CHERUBs WON AGAIN.
They Score Five Runs While tho Collie
eians Only Have Two on the Book.

Poor little Baby Phillips must have felt
mighty badly when his nurse bundled him
away safely in his downy bed last night,
for after the first inning yesterday and
after three OF the Cherubs had planted
their winning sandals on the rubber
he went over in a retired corner II right
field and wept like Ethla spring. Some
body went out and brought him stick
OF tolu, and there were innumerable
promises that his little stockings would
be filled with sleds and hobby-horses
next Christmas, but the Baby still wept,
and tears dropped from his eyes like the
irregular drippings Of Capitol Square
fountain. His sweet young life came very
near being lost in the shuttle I'm the
second inning, for one OF the brawny
Cherubs went down 10 second like a
switchback on its last dip. The Cherub
was McCreery, who before he came here
lent considerable establishment TO Penn
sylvania avenue. The Baby was perched
on second like the raven on the bust OF
Pallas, and the Washingtonian collided
with him. There was a mufiled sound.
and the next monent arms, legs and
bodies were mixed up like the ingredients
OF a mint Julep. When McCreery arose
he had his hand on bis abdomen, as
though something was the matter with
his interior machinery, and the Baby had
his hand on his damask cheek az though
he were doing the Juliet act Just as Jocund
day stands tiptoe on the mountain top.
The citizen from the national capital and
the Baby made UP, and last night they
were pushing pins on summer car bound
for the mosquito nests Of the reservoir.
The first inning, however. was the in
ming that made the Baby sob. Clad In
4,
with the Hillites. he went down to short
stops place with his features illumined
with smiles like the headlight Of Bank
street car. He saw Kahn go 10 the bat.
and he got gay and Joyous when he saw
Barley's fly caught by Anthony. Then
the Baby saw the authenticated gas man
ufacturer face Johnson, and his hopes ebb-
ed out like water from hre-hose at a
Main-street connagration. He did not
wait long for in n moment Foster had
pounded the incoming sphere for a two
Dagger, and went to third on passed
ball. Napier. with single, sent him
home. and Tupper's single sent the lean
and hungry Cassius Napierus to the
second bag base on called balls 10
Lemons filed the bases and Wild throw
by Johnson 20 first sent two men across
the plate. Johnson threw 10 first, and
threw too low. Anthony failed 10 stop
the sphere, and 1t continued its career
among the wire grass of right field. Ma
pier and Topper scored and Lemons was
left on the third bag.
For five long innings the Collegians
failed 10 score. and It began to look as
though they were about TO receive an
artistic decoration Of whitewash. The
rooters for the Tarantulas looked as
gloomy as a rainy Sunday in winter time,
and In the sixth everybody, from the
small boy IN the centre field tree 10 the
grand stand occupant, said that some
thing had to happen. Johnson appreci-
ated the circumstances and banged the
sphere for single. O'Hara chen cut the
air into small fragments with drive to
left, and he and Johnson went home as
happy as successful candidate at a
gubernatorial convention.
The following figures are as interesting
to some people as a report OF the sub
Treasurer:
