Glasscock and Hecker have met often
on the base ball diamond. Guy was be-
ginning TO decline when Jack made his
debut as a professional. The former is
now in the "Has-been' class, while
Glasscock is still a colt. Both are
adopts at good-natured repartee, and
they INDUCED i'm it during the game yes

popping up easy infeld flies, and none

die was prosecuting the little white
stone and changing his speed from this
whulwiud TO the gentle midsummer
zephyr and the sO-called "fIiCJers'
were going down like the ambitious
pugs before the great John L. in his
palmy days. This was kept up so long
that it ceased to be a joke, and Guy was
gUyod until patience ceased to be q viz

Say. Guy don't you want to buy
him. said Jack.
Nav was the ill-natured reply.
"But me won't cost as much as those
Cleveland boys, and just look at his
work persisted Glassc0ck.
Say. Jack. cheese it,. said Hecker.
You're striugin me. Y ought to have
more sense. I've got sons older'n you
Brodie covered himself with glory

out game. and it was dead tough luck
that the visitors scored. Tn eight

Ireland or Ball, and they both sprinted
for it. Whitehill reached first, the ball
was lying on the ground, and the TWO
players stared az each other with a
'where-am-I-at' expression. IL was the
raukest kind of a scratch hit. but II pre-
vented q shut ont for the visitors. Mar
tin died at first. and the other Whitehill

have retired the side without hit
Groves. who had been popping up easy
6ys with Christian regularity, selected
a nice bali. and sent it spinning out IN
right field for two bases, scoring White
hill. Grcminger few out, and the game
was over.
Brodie's work i'm the box has not been
e0ualed in the Iron and Oil League this
season. The game looked like record
breaker. But for that error Of judgment
i'm the ninth inning, the visitors would
have been shut out with but two hits,
and but twenJy-uine men would have
gone to bat As it was they made four
hits with q total of six, and thirty-one
men went to- bat.
BrOdio pitched a magnificent game.
His speed was terrific When Oil City

past the nfeld. The outfeld had but
two chances. The spectators apprecl-
ated his work and accorded him q per

his cap half O dozen times during the
game. He also batted well, making a
double and a single.
The home players got their lamps on
the sphere. and batted it right and LETT,

four Cleveland uniforms in the game,
and they were not very much in evil

weakness in batting Griffith and DonO-

to do the battery work Griffith lasted
three innings. In the second. with one
man out. Ireland cracked out a double,
