Schuyler Mathews in February Ladies'

these results are brought about in the

seems i~nexhaustible. With proper treat
ment they keep on blooming and bloom

game was between the New-York and Chicago
mines. and the home team won after loosely played
battle.
The chief incident happened in the sixth inning
rernan sent the ball sailing right field over the
ropes The hit was good for home run, but
snectator thought that Herman might not make
home run and he kicked the ball away from Ryan.
the Chicago fielder Herman made the circuit OF
the bases but the Chicago players protested, and
the umpire properly ordered Tiernan back 10 third
base. Ryan meanwhile had started after the man
who had kicked the ball with the apparent intention
of chastising him Other spectators started after
RYAN and 1t looked for an instant If the Chicago
player would be roughly handled. The police finally
took hand and peace was restored.
Had the police done their duty in the first place
there would have been no trouble. There was
plenty of for the spectators on the stanus;
and they should have been allowed 10 stahu
