HOW BALL is PLAYED.

The Bohemians were given the first op-
portunity TO win glory, and were very
quickly disposed of. Elmer DePue got to
first base on light blow, and L. +. Ruhm,
who followed him, produced species of
foul to the liking of Catcher Earl. and was
out. In the meanwhile DePue stole sec
ond. but in trying to reach third was
caught and made sacrifice OF, while f. L..
Owen retired the side by being disposed of
at first. John Chetwood Jr. opened the
Berkeleys' turn at the bat and fouled out.
w. r. Smedberg got to first and L. Grant
Jr. helped him along to third. Then Smed-
berg tried to get home, but Lange was on
the watch. III. j. Earl, the professiona al
catcher, went to the bat and was given his
base on balls. Pitcher Owen standing way
to one side. Whereat many in the grand
stand hissed and cried ''Play ball" Earl
stole second, but Joseph S. Tobin made a
weak bit and Grant was caught as he tried
TO get home, retiring the side.
The second inning was also played
through without a run being made. n. A
Lange was the first to bat for the b.
hemlans and sent up heavy fly that was
neatly caught at center. +. A. Wilcox was
put out at first and G. A. l.. Flagler the
same. 1t was all over before the band,
which played while the mines were chang
Ing, had chance to breathe. Then in
cdu6 the OulVerSltles dBdlu. ID. NJ IlCk-
etts struck TO third and the man there
missed it. He tried to steal second but
failed. G. NJ. BeIshaw and Harry Russell
were then retired on strikes.
In the third inning the Bohemians began
TO dIsintegrate. They did nothing at the
bat, and when they got out in the field
they did worse Robert Woods was put
out at first, II. w. Dimond gently stroked
the ball and ittgracefully fell into the Sec
ond baseman's hands. and then f. ID.
Atherton came up smiling. Everybody
cheered when his rubcund countenance
shone over she home plate. He struck
commanding posture and waved his bat.
He waved 1t just three times, hitting the
air square in the center at each stroke, and
when he was declared out looked as radi-
ant as if he hadD't been. Then the fun
began. CbetwoOd came up for the Uni
versities and got to first. Smed berg fol-
lowed with safe hit and Grant did the
same, but Chetwood got out on third. Earl
was sent to bis base on balls, whereat
more Kisses The same was done for
TObin and Smedberg came home, scoring
the first run. Ricketts, made light hit,
sacrificing himself, but bringing in an
other man. Small and Russell then went
out on strikes. Two runs
aIn the fourth Elmer DePue started off
fouls and startled the horses in the iDclo-
sure. Then he changed to fly and was
caught out. Ruhm followed with weak
ling to the same effect. Then with two
men out Owen came to the bat and made
the star hit of the day, sending the ball
clean to the fence and getting to third
Lpnge was again given his base on balls
and stole second al once while the Berkeley
men took seconds nap. Wilcox then
made splendid hit. almost as fine as
Owens. 1t did much more good anyway,
bringing In Owen and Lange. Flag!er
was then put out at first. Two runs for
Bohemia and the game was tied. When
Berkeley came TO bat again Chetwood was
put at first, then SmedDerg made safe
hit and Grant helped him around. The
Bohemians INDUCED in some wild throw
ing and Smedberg got home Earl got to
first, but Tobin and Ricketts, went out.
The fifth inning saw Woods. Dimond
and Atherton retired gracefully in the
order named. They smiled sweetly. the
university folks cheered and the boys from
Berkeley came 10 bat. AT this point 1t
seemed as if The Bohemian fielders had put
grease ON their fingers. 1t as impossible
for them to hold the bali, and the official
scorer got confused marking errors. Tobln,
Ricketts,, Small and Chetw0od scored.
In the sixth inning Berkeley went to
pieces in the field and the Bohemlans made
six runs. which caused much enthusiasm
in the ranks Of their friends, Lange, Flag
Ter. Woods, Owen, Ruhm and Wilcox par
taking of the glory and Atherton winning
q metaphorical wreath by safe hit. But
then how poor Bohemia went 10 pieces in
the field, for tho university boys came to
bat and made eight runs, nearly every
member of the nine having share at it.
In the eighth inning the B0hemans were
listless at bat. and Flagler, Woods and
Dimond were retired in order. The Uni
versities came in and Russell made one
run. The Bohemians tried the first part
of the ninth. but didn't even make base
