CaDtain Jack" Giasscock appeared
Yesterday afternoon in the role Of
conjurer. He brought TO the ball park
a little cabinet Of tricks with which TO
deceive the Unheavenly Twins. They
were distributed to the players before
the game. and they succeeded in mysti-
fying the visitors. BrOnchO Jack was
conspicuous by his absence. He stopped
of at Steubenville to spend the day
with his best girl. Myers filed his po-
sition at second very well, so far as
playing is concerned, but he fell short
on mouth. The Twins found very
life-like portrait Of the prince OF kickers
i'm front Of their bench. 1t was drawn
with whitewash, and represented the
Liverpool lad astride a Texas mustang
IL was so true to nature that az several
stages Of the game the spectators almost
expected the capaciOus vocal organ 10
open in protest against some OF the de-
cisions of Umpire Kelly.
CAPTAIN Glasscock needed all his pow
ers of prestidigitation in the ninth in
ming. He mad placed in Kane's hand
a rubber band labeled Optical Illusion.
'TOlly" was instructed TO touch the BALL
with il every time he delivered 1t. II
worked all right for awhile, but 1t be-
came detached and "TOllys' arm lost
its cunning. II was al this stage that
Glasscock called that king OF twisters,
Theodore Conover. into the box.
That ole gem'men' had been dream
eng of q blue grass belle who had failed
TO write as usual, and he was d trliie
nervous. The Twins needed TWO 10 tie
and three to win Sweet Violets
stepped up and Theodore smote him
on the leg. Hopper" Gallagher, who IS
not related to Let 'er &C" gave the
sphere a weak little punch, and the
Violets withered and died az second.
JPritchard got a life on Balls bad Jnrow,
and Hopper" went around 70 THIRD.
Two strikes were called on Dummy
and he made a face at COnover, where
upon Theodore became wrothy and
smote him with the ball Shaw bumped
the sphere gently. It was gathered up
i'm right garden. after Gallagher mad
crossed the plate One to tie, now, and
the rooters did everything but breathe.
Briggs came up with an air of confidence
and popped up a nice little sky-scraper.
The gentleman with the Hibernian name
started to sprint for it, and it dropped
into his mitJen over by the bleacher
fence.
Glasscock's box of tricks did very ef-
fective work, turning probable deleat N
10 victory. There was one little ASH
stick which was designed especially Tor
hunts. and it was used with good re-
suits. Ball and Kerr each wore spec
tacles which came from the little cab
met. Ball got three free passes to the
initial bag. and the Canuck reached the
same bag an equal number of times on
nice clean singles. In the fourth inning
with Shaw on first, Briggs drove the
sDhere on line right into Balls hands.
Ball iuggled 1t, and then dropped it pur-
posely in order to execute q double
play. Tt was 4 neat piece Of head work,
and he was warmly applauded.
HawIey pitched with an "I-want-my-
salary-or-my-relea air. Twas an
off day for the Hawleys. His illusJri-
Gus namesake struck Waterloo AT
Cincinnati. Bur the Twin City Haw-
ley is not so much pumpkins at best.
He would be more of a SUCCESS as a
con-ortionist. That twist Of the leg is
intended to strike terror to the batter,
but Notorious Pastorious can give
Hawley cards and spades and shot
gun. and bear him out at that game.
Viole, and Myers are substitute kickers
on the Uhricbsville team, but they need
practice. Broncho will probably be in
the game to-day. as the following mes
sage from Steubenville would seem to
indicate.
"Sha said yes tonight. VIII be
down I'm the morning BRONCHO."
