Again Hillary Swain V as the big stone OF
the diamond yesterday afternoon at Ma
tional Park, and he and seven other Sena-
tors defeated the Brooklyns in a game
replete with sensational catches and in
cidentally some glaring errors in the
outfield. Only five hits were made off tie
tail sycamore OF the Buckeye State, and
he pitched with as much vigor as the
hide-bound Populist shouted for Coxey
when tie latter was nominated for gov
ernor the other day al Columbus.
The Trolley Dodgers tried every con
ceivable way TO rattle the yearling, but
he kept right along, putting the ball some

hit one, but with men ON bases he was
remarkably steady.

The Senatorial shortstop's fielding was
as sensational as one OF TlIman's s anti
Cleveland speeches in the upper branch OF

of his way TO throttle the desires OF
several Trolley Dodgers, and he very gra
ciously and unustentatlously prevented
them from swelling their batting averages
by marvellous catches. His one error
was Of the eXcusable kind, and it ayailed
naught, as moment later he completed
q double play with TCcker in fast fashion.
