BY rare good luck, and lots of it, the
Grangers took the game from Hampton
yesterday by the skin of their teeth. In
!, the first inning Person and Vetter were
Z the battery for the visitors. and between
them let in three runs by their wildness.
They were both taken out and Morrlssey
and Taft substituted, n decided improve
ment. Morrissey, who is Hampton To-
Gal. pitched remarkably clever game,
having splendid control. an effective
& curve and good head. He was hit
for only eight bases, while his opponent.
the awe-inspiring Brandt, was touched
up for ten hits. aggregating eighteen
I bases and resulting in five runs, four of
them earned.
Pete Hall. though his finger is still
pretty sore, was in the game and with
the admirable assistance OF Gouchnauer
corralled most OF the infield hits. Burke's
playing was better than It has been,
though By no means as good as he is
3ce5able OF.
Rollins was a terror behind the bat,
and all three of the outfielders put up
q fast game. AS for the ex-Farmers, all
PLAYED very fair ball. especially Bradley,
Mailman. Rathsrmel, Leach and Kelly.
The contest was snappy, and toward the
last as pretty and as interesting as any
one would wish. See the score:

CHONNY MEETS HIS SPIRIT.
An Episode of Social Intercourse at
Staten Island Picnic Park.

An Episode of Social Intercourse at .
Staten Island Picnic Park.
She was from the east side, fair of
figure and countenance, with hazel
brown eyes and light brown hair shad-
ed with just tinge of auburn, which
was carefully combed up behind, max
ing the contour of her head attractive.
She wore cheap shirt waist with green
and white stripes, white butterfly tie
and black figured satin skirt, while
trim sailor hat with a white satin band
rested jauntily on her head. She stood
up on a grassy mound at the picnic
grounds, where she caught the eye of
Chonny McCue, who, with his chum,
Mickey Farrell, had wandered into the
picnic i'll the hope of catching on"
and having a dance. 1t was at one of
those Staten Island picnic parks so pop
ular with city folks in the lower wards
who want to have whole lot of fun
for very little money. Chonny was
logged out in his Sunday best. He wore
light trousers, with very bright blue
serge coat and waistcoat, straw hat
with a bright red and white striped
band, a bright blue necktie and yellow
shoes. Flipping away the stump of a
cigarette, he said:
Unlikely, I've found me spirit. Watch
me while git together. F."
He started up the mound at slow
pace. She saw him coming toward her
and nodded her head slightly in re-
| spouse to a nod from him. Then she
turned her head away, but Chonny, en-
couraged by the nod, marched bravely
up.
'Scuse me-" said he, with uplifted
hat and q short, jerky bow, ''but didn' t
/ collide wild yer at Newport last sum-
mer?''
MAY be yer did - but WASH t
there, said she, biting her lip in an at
| tempt to conceal a smile.
Oats how | come ter meet yer, "
said Chonny, grinning broadly.
Eyer don't sagoshiate sop she re-
torted.
This was new one on Chonny, and
he was stumped for moment, but his
ready wit helped him the next as he
blurted:
''Say, Mamie, what is yer first name
anyhow"
"Why, it's Susiel How did yer guess
it,"
Then both laughed.
"Well, how are yer on der swing?'
said Chonny, pointing to a soup swing
ing from nearby tree.
"Oh, I'm good thingl Just push me
along" said she, and Chonny just fell
in alongside her and led her over to the
soup.
He lifted her on the seat and was
soon swinging her industriously. Their
introduction had beer accomplished. -

A typewriter operator the other day
was called to task for subscribing her
copies of business letters, Yours very
sincerely" She ought to have known
better. Perhaps if she had understood
the value of words or known a little of
their derivation she would never have
made such a grave error. Sincerely
means without wax, and the word is
said to have been applied originally to
honey. 1t is long translation, but to
those who follow out Emerson S idea of
language being fossil poetry the deriva-
ton is certainly interesting. Once i'm
pressed with the meaning, no one would
use the word wrongly or to other than
an intimate friend. A safe rule for sig
natures is, when in doubt, subscribe
yourself yours truly" To one who is
much older than yourself or one who is
entitled to special Difference ''Yours re-
specially" is preferable. The word very
is not necessary and is avoided on all
