timely rally at the bat in the eighth inning the en-
thusiasm burst forth In mighty roar wnch shat-
tered the nerves Of the tmid and made the I'M

groan. Every seat and inch Of advantageous space
in the Enclosure were occupied, and the police had
70 be called upon to clear the press-box Tor the
working newspaper men. The stands were packed

emphatic success.
