KIDS GOT THEIR REVENGE
Pitcher Petty Made a Sorry Showing
Against the Youngsters.
SELBACH PLAYED A FINE LEFT
For Only One Inning Did the Veterans Have
a Look In, as the Boys Batted Very Hard
and Very 0ften-Egan Pitched Very
Good Game and Was Well Supported.

After resting over Sunday the Kids regained
their wind, and yesterday afternoon obtained
sweet revenge for their Saturdays defeat.
Petty, the big twirler who figured as small
factor in the Meakin-F Farrell deal, was in the
points for the Vets. He had neither cunning
nor command, and retired at the end OF the
fifth inning with the consciousness of having
pitched mighty poor ball. OF course he did
not exert himself, owing to the cold weather,
but the Vets were greatly handicapped by
Petty's poor work. The showing of Pitcher
Egan was fine, and he kept his sand from
start to finish. The Vets tried hard to rattle
him, but the youngster was game.
Less than 200 people were in the park, but
they had plenty of opportunity to become
enthusiastic over the free hitting of the Kids,
as well as their good base-running. One OF
the most marked features OF the game was
the lively coaching of the Kids, which was in
decided contrast to the quietness OF the old
timers. As one spectator remarked, 1.-THE
Kids are full of ginger and always alive to
every point in the game"
John Mcmahon, last season with New York,
made his first appearance with the Vets and
created a favorable impression. He covered
first base. but his regular position with the
local club will be behind tie bat. He Is q
natural hitter and will become a great favorite
with the local followers of the sport. Rad
ford had poor luck in fielding yesterday, max
ing two errors on ground balls. His arm Is
not in good shape, and he took no chances IN
hurting it. stephens. who succeeded Petty,
was no more effective than the latter.
As the time approaches for the opening of
OF the championship season and the more
one sees of the players at work the impress
sion grows stronger that Hassamaer, Tebeau.
Selbach. and Joyce will be certain to remain
with the team. As all four of these men are
good hard hitters as well as felders they
have naturally become favorites. Rudolph
kaufman. who is u good judge of ball
PLAYER, believes Selbach to be q jewel and
wants him played ut short Held. Selbach
covered left field in gilt-edged style Yesterday
and made one catch of fly which was 4
''hair-raiser," to quote the words OF Mike
Scanlon.
Egan's defect in the game was too much
liberality in giving bases on balls. four Of
these resulting in runs. Outside OF this he
pitched strong game, striking out the willy
Radford on two occasions. George Tebeau
signalized his reappearance 10y making three
timely hits, but he did not attempt TO use his
game leg by running the bases. Dugdale
also got in three hits. and even Shortstop
Mcmahon caught the disease and smashed
out 4 three-bagger Cartwright made his
first hit in two games by driving long fly to
left field, making the circuit OF the bases.
The Vets were the first to score. but soon
the Kids took the lead and opened up big
gap. which could never be closed 10y their
rivals Wards second-base play was clever.
The score:
