VICTORY AND DEFEAT.
TANDEA-LTKE, THE FATES DECREED
THAT IT SHOULD HAPPEN
An the Morning tho visitors Were shut
ont, But They Turned ihs Tables On
the Hustiers IN tho Afternoon,


When Umpire Daiy called play" yes
terday morning. about 1900 cxpcctant
rootcrs were on the grounds The sun
was rolling lazily around IN cloudess
sky, shedding its rays gratuitously over
man and rooteF alike. and causing the
mercury 10 climb upward until 30 reached
the neighbofhood OF the 100 degree mark.
Inc local fans were out zen masse"
ana such as had the price were accom-
panied by their best girls. In white duck
dresses. with shiri-waists Of variegated
colors. Standing collars were not in
II yesterday; they melted like snow on
warm winters day. and before the
game was over nearly every one wished
they had remained at home and sucked
lemonade through straw.
Talk about ~ being hot,
Now something about the game in which
-hose little Hustlers presented Captain
herfyhili and his aggregation with nine
NICE select and choice zcroes.
on That MASCOT
To begin al tho beginning. let me say
that tho Hiu Climbers brought along a
mascot. lie IS the latest Importation
from sunny Africa, and before he left
MS native land 20 become baseball
mascot. he was used by his moi her as
bait 20 catch aliigators from the Nile.
oilie is about four feet tan. blacker than
Masons shoe polish. and he wears
combination OF clothes that. Ike Joscphs
coat. is Of many cOlors.
Well. before the game. the young mas
cot tossed the hall around with tho agili-
" Of monkey. and generally conducted
himself In such manner as 20 afford
great amusement 10 the crowd. Just as
tho game was called ollie stepped 10
the plate. busted n on with his cap.
then he spit upon 70. This was by way Of
preliminary but Oie was mon est
for the remainder Of the contest. and de-
voted IFS time 20 chewing gum. catch
ing flies. and taking care Of the bats
Tor Tho visitors
A GnFAT GAME
What a eame' 10 was n nice. clean. and
beautifully PLAYED contest. marred by no
kicking or delays. that generally dctract
50 much from the national pastime. ! at
tribute Lynchburgs defeat 10 two causes,
the safe and timely hitting OF The Hust-
lcrs. and the inability on the part OF the
visitors TO bat Flynus curves. The little
twirler was simply invinclble, and Cap
tain Berryhill and his men found his de
livery harder 60 solve than the Rule of
Three" Mcintyre. Smith. and Plock each
got a single and that was the sum and
substance of the visitors stick work.
The Hill-Clmbcrs certainly failed 10 de-
mOustrate the problem of how 10 get IN
n, but nevertheless they played a great
game OF ban, and centomanly one.
and contested bitterly until the last man
was out.
II is with pride that I refer 10 the
morning work OF the Hustlers They put
mp such q game az you read about. or
see once in "a lifetime. Think of team
having twenty assists and only one error,
and that costing nothing. il would be
hard 20 say 10 whom belongs the honor |
of yesterdays morning victory. Every |
man played the game of his life, and even |
n the Duke of Fulton did have a few !
passed balls. he on several occasions |
made up for 10 by putting out the glimmer |
OF such or the visitors as were so bold as |
20 try and steal the bag that Houscman /
guards.
Kaeoy and Ferguson were in the points
for the Hn-Clmbers. and the former, |
even If he was defeated, pitched beau
tful game. The first two innings were as
uncyeutful as a May morning the quick
sndppy work Of both teams keeping even
so much as shadow nom passing across
the home plate.
1HE FUN COMMENCED
But IN the third the fun commenced, ana
the game was won. Little Barley Kahn adj
jpstcd all existing differences between
himself and the rooters. on account of
his recent trouble, by putting the ball be
tween centre and right for a single. He
paused not at the initial bag but stole
second boy "a beautiful slide. that reminded
one OF the picture OF a young Alpine ave
lauche out on spree. Then Groves hit
safely, and Barley came home. Tannehul |
was hit and Houseman given his base on
balls. filling the BAGS but Wells and
Foster were not equal 10 the occasion, ana
lnly one run resulted.
In their half of the third the visitors
might have scored. but for Ollie. PloCk
and kagey flew out then Ferguson sent
)ne through Spec. McGowan's legs. much
90 the elatiOn of the rootcrs from Lynch
burg. The next man was Mcintyre and |
when ne stepped 10 the plate ollie rush
ed out, rubbed his bat. dotted his hat to
the crowd. and smiled happily Flynn
ave Mcintyre four bad ones. and things
began TO look bilious. Berryhill was at the
bat. and both runners were playing on
bases for good lead.
HOW If WAS DONE.
Flynn had his weather eye on McIn-
yrc and before any one realized what
be- was about. the little twirler ran 10
irst base. and stood with the ball in his
iand between the visitors big second
,aseman. and the initial bag. This ran
'ergussOn off Of second. for he had 10
move. and ne was thrown out.
The fourth showed decided blanknoss
