Just as tho Cleveland players tumbled out Of
their dressing room at Eastern Park yesterday
afternoon to practise for the first Rame q violent
wind storm swept across the ground, and before
the men could get under cover the rain came down
In torrents. The sun broke through the clouds
for the teams to play ball. President Byrne, not
to cause any Ill feeling among his patrons, was
anxious to have the game 70 on, but the man
ayers of the two clubs came TO the conclusion
that the diamond was too muddy, and the game
was declared of. With the aid Of several bar
rels of sawdust the infeld was put In fair shape
to begin tn regular scheduled game at $3.50
O'Clock, a hu.. hour ahead OF the advertised time.
Several snappy plays were made by BARNES
men, who backed up Kennedy in a way that
made the latter feel as IL he only had to put tho
ball over the plate and to avoid having hits
punched. George Smiths error in the second
inning let the visitors score their drst run. The
misplay was an excusable one, Just as Ger
man." picked up Wallace's bOunder he slipped
his feet, threw, wide to first. The other run
gcored by the Clevelands was a gift OF Shindle.
With two out and Childs on third in the sixth
inning, Burkett hit a fly to Smith, who didn't
have to move to catch the ball. Shindle, how
ever, ran over and made n clutch at tho
sphere, only to drop it. Barnie's men
punched their hits in three different innings,
which tells the tale Of the Clevelands' downfall.
Sockalexis helped matters along by misiudging
Lachanee's fly, with two bases occupied, allow
ing the batter to reach third. Tebeau and La
chance locked horns In tho second inning and a
row seemed to be on the bill, but the Cleveland
captain walked away, after the big baseman
had pushed him about In a manner TO cause some
ball players to lose their temper. Canavan was
seventh inning and retired from the game. The

women was intoduced as THIS of keep
ing their skirts out of the mud and
club whose purpose is to make such a
reform general may well be credited
with be,ug the most eminent organiza-
ton of the kind known for century.
Mrs. Welby says that the club will do
more for the health and happiness of
women than any other club. She has
received letters from women in every
part of the United States and Canada,
asking for information and desiring
membership. The slight feeling of en-
barrassment that troubled some of the
pioneers in the movement has disappear
ed, and women walk about in skirts of
sensible length secure in the knowledge
that they are admired for their common
sense.
At the meeting of the Rainy Day
club in Brooklyn few days ago most
of those in attendance wore walking
dresses of convenient height, although,
as it was fair day, it was not neces-
sary to appear in the regular bad wealth
or costume. Even on bright days it is
well to dress comfortably, with the bot
tom Of the dress at safe distance from
the dust of the ground and the mem
bers of the club understand this perfect
ly. The prospects of the club are excel
lent. So soon as it is generally under
stood there will be thousands of women
on its roll of membership, for rainy
and muddy days are as common in one
city as another and in country places
as we'll Dame Fashion may have rebel
led against the rainy day costume at
first, but even she has joined the process
sion now, and all who wear the sensible
clothing have the satisfaction of know
ing that they are stylish as we'll as COM
