Mr. and Mrs. Lester German watched
the game from tie gtand stand.
To the creditor Eufsiie let it he said that
lie has seen better on other days.
MERGERS steam was apu fling in the
eleventh just as II pulled i'll the first.
The yearlings and the aged in the home
team galloped in dead heat fashion, and
so 1t should be.
1t was game Of baseball in every artic-
ular Every Eoint and trick OF the sport
was eXemplliied.
Emslie has Ceteriorated as an umpire un-
less he is about in condition TO enter the
"Redheffer Stakes"
If a fellow would have had a play on
the deuce lu the ninth inning, he would
have been great winner.
Patsey gave Emslie a lot of slack
in the tentn and EOD was so raZZled that
he put him out OF the game.
The press box at National Park is a good

capt. Joyce made Il reat steal of
second IN the thlrd. Mexican had the ball
but Scrappy made long slide and swung
under Macs stab to tab him.
Well maybe the crowd didn't veil when
Scrappy slugged the bali TO the fence
in the ninth. The drive saved the igno-

Though a slight advance is charged for

When the rooters tired they started in

The Evening Times was burned to ena Bile
Emslie and the two teams to conclude the

| Patsey registered one of his famous
kicks In the eighth when he claimed that
