Enabled the Baitimores to Tako Game
From the Bostons.


BALTIMORE, April 21.-The Bostons
were beaten In somewhat lively game.
Several times during the game it looked
as though the Beaneaters had an excellent
chance, but luck, backed up by Hoffer's
steadiness when the bases were full.
seemed TO be with the home team.
Yerrick in the box for Boston WAS wild
I'm the first half of the game, but toward
the end he settled down, finishing In ex-
cellent form considering the drubbing he
had undergone. Hoffer was In great
shape.

OF earning the salary he asks for before
he Will be offered contract. President
Draper is inclined to think that Egan has
another "glass" arm and is holding out

Though the business and rush which
always precedes the opening of baseball

Grays on the jump, still the ladies have
not been forgotten, for President Draper
