must have been nearly 5000 persons present.
The grand stand, the left field seats and the
bleachers were one of humanity. while a

rule was adopted which made every hit driven
into the crowd two-bagger. This rule
operated against the Washingtons once on a
clean three-bagger by Wise, but did not have
the same effect when Breitenstein drove the
ball into the same place. Why this was thus the
honorable court. in the person Of Umpire
McQuade, did rot explain. but doubtless there
were reasons At any rate Lawyer O1Rourke
did not note an exception, and the case WILL ac-
cordingly, not be argued.
The home team, usual, took the lead at
the start by good hitting and a base on balls,

Brodie brought in run by hit. which Wise

him. Maui became trife wild in this inning
and gave two batsmen their bases, but neither
scored. After this squirt nothing was done

hitting. Gunson opened with a hit over Hoy's
