Springfield. Mass. July 1.-The
Spriu gtields put up a spiritless game
against the Champions today and al
lowed them TO win with the greatest
ease. Springtield's fielding was very
ragged. while Providence played sharp
ly and accurately Springfield could
get but five hits off Rudderham. who
pitched a fine game, while Callahan, af.
ter being hit hard enough in the first
two innings to lose the game. was re-
tired in favor of Coughlin. who did bet
ter. But the game was lost already
and Springfield could not find enough
hits to win il. Cooney and Bassett
made brilliant stops. Leahy q fine catch
OF a tiy and DonnelIy and Gilbert good
catches of fouls. The feature OF the
! day was knights batting. Out of four
times at bat ne got four hits with a
total Of eight bases. Score:

The possibilities OF the English Ian.

describe the great American game ~
base ball. but for striking Illustration
this from the Herald OF Quincy. H.. has
rarely been equaied:

town We're fed to the pigs yesterday y
by the cadaverous Indian grave-robbers
from Omaha, The fiabby. one-lunged
Reubens who represent the Gem city
In the reckless rush Cor the base ball
pennant had their shins toasted by the
basilsk-eyed cattle drivers from the
west. They stood around with gaping
eyeballs like u hen ON n hot nail. and
suffered the grizzly yaps Of Omaha to
run the bases until their necks We're
long with thirst. Hickey had more er-
rors than Coins Financial school, and
led the rheumatic procession to the
morgue The Quincys were full of straw
and scrap iron. They couldn't hit n
brick wagon with a pickaXe and ran
bases like pall-bearers at funeral. Ii
three-base hits were growing on the
back OF every mans neck they couldn't t
reach 'em with Il feather duster. IL
looked as II the Amalgamated Union
OF South American Hoodoos was in ses-
sion for work in the thirty-third degree.
The geeZers stood about and whistled
for help. and We're SO weak they
couldn't lift glass of beer IL It had
been all foam. Everything was yell
low, rocky and whangbasted. like IL
stigtossel full of dogglegammon. The
game was whiskered and frostbitten.
The Omahogs were bad enough, but
the Quincy Brown SoX had their fins
sewed up until they couldn't hold a
crazy quilt unless it was tied around
their necks."

Confrmatory services were conduct
ed last evening in st. David's church
by Rt. Rev. N. s. Rulison. d. D., as
sistant bishop OF the diocese Of central

After the above named persons had
been confirmed Bishop Rulison preached.
The eminent divines remarks We're d.
rected especially to those who had been
confirmed. In brief, he said:
"You are now engaged in a work
which can be called the Lords busi-
ness. Everyone is a partner In this
firm. The work Is tn be about, lift up
the fallen, care for the sick, save souls
and other results of taking on the ar
NOR of God. Some think that after con-
firma ton the great transaction Is done,
but this Is false. The work or response
bility begins at our birth, not at the
baptismal font. The chief object is the
salvation of men. All are obligated by
the everlasting law of God. AS the
athlete strengthens his arm. SO the
spiritual man should strengthen his
spirit, by exercise"
The sermon was listened to with rapt
attention. Rev. Frank S. Ballentine,
Of Green Ridge. assisted in the ser
vices. This evening services will be
held in st. Lukes, at which several
candidates will be confirmed. and CITY
Missionary +. o. Jones, Of st. David's
