In celeprd.ion Of yesterdays game being
the fns' one of the series between the Kids
and Vets the latter walked Off with the honors
jdst as easy as you please. Manage Schmeiz
stated before the game tina he had decided 10
open up Monday aftcEoon with new deal
by 'acing what will probably be the regular
team i. the field a, inst picked nine com
posed of the otner players. This decision Is
IN line wit. TEE TINES recommendation that
the r-cule. team should be made up and the
men given -ractice IN their permanent po l.
tons. The manager has selected the regulars
for Monday as McAIahc~ catcher; Petty.
pitcher; Cartwright, Ward, and Joy ee, base
men: Selbach. short; Abbey, left; TeDeau.
centc., and Radiord right.
According to the manaoer there NAV be
changes made in this teaLi. as every man will
have to prove himself able TO hold his own.
Such PLAYERS as Hassamaer, Sullivan, Mulyey,
and shortstop McMaho- will be given every
chance TO 5. ow by their work their right 10
occupy regular place, and Manager ScEmelz
saws he will PLY no favorites now or any
other time. The selection of Selbach as short
will be surprise TO many, but it IL said this
PLAYER can Ill the bill at short with the same
facility that he has been taking care of left
field.
In Yesterdays game Abbey loomed up as
the champion sprinter OF the team. beat
ing out three inield hits. stealing three bases,
and scoring five runs. He was weak on
ground balls, however, letting three go
through him. Mcclure and Mulvey had their
eve ON the ball and batted for keeps. Esper
pitched five innings and was touched up
pretty lively in the first inning, but settled
. down afterwards. stephens finished the game
for the Vets and fooled the Kids in great
style. but one hit being made OFF him. He be-
gan badly by filling the bases by his wildness,
but then struck out 'Roarlng Bili'' Hasa
maer and following this with II double play,
participated in by Sullivan and Mcmahon. re-
tired the side without run.
Black and Mercer did the twirling for the
Kids, the former making poor showing. He
was badly ratified in the third inning. when
six hits were made in succession of his de-
livery. In the fourth he also weakened and
forced in a run by base on balls. Mercer
did better, but it was not the Kids day out
and "Scrappy" Joyce got satisfaction by
gently insinuatins that Umpire Snyder wanted
the Vets 10 win. Stocksdale numbered around
second base and was fortunate in escaping
any difficult chances. The spectators were
Mortified to see Paul Radford drop fly ball,
and Captain Prince was noticed TO wipe away
what looked like a saltwater tear. The cap
tain afterward declared it was only a bluff
and not a real ''all wool and a yard wide
tear.
Joe Sullivan played short like house afre
and made two stops OF hard hit grounders
which surprised the natives. He
also batted well, and his work in
the game is calculated to set
Gus Schmelz thinking as to the advisability
of giving Joe the throw-down. Mcguire
never played in better form, even if he and
Stephens did get mixed up at one time on
their code OF signals. Joyce was in the game
from start to finish. and both batted and
fleided well. The game was marked by some
good. hard hitting, as well as fair fielding,
and those who paid admission had a run for
their money, while the deadheads were
minus kick. The score:
