of the games. and so did all the Chicago play
ers. but they were unable to cope with the SUI
perior batting and fielding OF Wards men.
Each side played ball from the start, and the fact
that there were a number of costly errors made
on either side did not make the game less inter-
esting.
There was the largest crowd that has wit
messed a hall game In Chicago this year. except
ing on certain holidays and sundays. When the
first game was begun at = o'clock there were
fully $500 persons present, and at 4:1O. when
the second game began, not less than 1000 were
on tho bleachers. Six-sevcnths OF these were
"rooters' for the homo team, and they made
the air resound with their discordant yells. But
they rooted" IN vain, and as the sun went
down and tho second game appeared To he n
walkovcr for the visitors. the gloom seemed to
become more intensified. The carmine tint on
"Old Ansc's" face turned into n sort OF purple.
and his eyes had a dull. stony stare. He had
"sasscd" the umpire and wrangled over balls
and strikes NIL the afternoon, but Umpire Lynch
never weakened, and the grea. captains heart
sank within him.
The first game wns pretty and exciting. Big
Amos Rusic was almost invincible. and Terry
also pitched u remarkably good game. Not a
run was scored on either side until the sixth
inning, when each team secured one tally. In
