As on Friday, VIXEN the Senators made

did his work well. and supported McJanes
in such n manner that no one in the audience
would think him n man of forty-fve sum-

Jimmy McJames was in the box for Tom
Browns men, and his work was of the
fashion of daring woman shooting the
chute on a pedalIeSs bicycle. He would
at one time speed the balls across the plate
at an alarming rate, and Immediately after
the balls would come in slower than picnic

He kept the nine hits nicely scattered.
and being exceilently supported he acquitted
himself in regular cake walk style. His
long reach DETECTED four batted balls. which
counted as base hits, one OF which resulted
in an earned run.
BURKE WAS SAFE.

and Hoy.
The home team began scoring In the
second. O'Brien singled, Brown sacri-

baseman home on a regular oid-timer and
cantercd to third as easily AS the crank
turns a well-oiled merry go-rouud.
In the third DeMontreville not only
earned fashionable neck.ie by hitting
the signboard in left field. but he secured
second base. He was sent home after two
men were out on Smiths hit to right
field. which the latter stretched into a
double by a slide which would put Jack
