station on the way home.
Norton had splendid control, only two
Trolley Dodgers working him for walks TO
first, and Of these, Germany Smith and
ShintIle, the former got the gift more by
the kindness of Mir. Hurst than Hot
safus' - bad aim. In the seventh he
very oleverly struck out Jimmy Canavan at
a critical period, when any sort OF
bngle would have scored run, and made
the game dangerous. To strike out the
crafty Canavan is something of a feat
Norton fooled the foxy second basG!nan
with a fast inshoot that took a drop as
| it came over the rubber. Canayan Swiped
at them but failed to connect, and had 70
walk back to the bench,

Norton was at bat and fouled bah that
had been used quite a while into the
grand stand A pretty girl under a red
hat picked ii up as it came bounding over
and quickly concealed IL In the folds of
her dress. The Brooklyn players asked
for it to be thrown back, but the young
lady smiiingly shook her bead and would
not give up the sphere. Kennedy per
sisted, but Hurst said, What's the use?
When a woman won't, she won't. You'l
have to take a new one" And out came
an immaculate spalding as hard TO
handle as fresh caught eel. Kennedy
said some words not in the catechiSm,
and the bleacher boys bowled their de-
light over his discontinue. Then they
applauded the lady, and unanimously
voted her queen of the Fair Fans
In the eighth DeMontreville met a slow
drop with the end OF his stick and the
ball smashed pane of glass out or

the ball in his shirt in the sixth and caught
Kennedy mapping off of second, much to
the latter's disgust and to the screaming
delight of the rooters, who were aware
of the shell game in store for the lanky

lively reminded of green goods and gold
bricks by the sun gods.

to center and came home on McGuire's hit
To Canavan, who forced Selhach to G.

flew out to Anderson,
With two out in the eighth, Kennedy
hit Reilly and Charles circumnavigated the
the circuit when Norton made two-base
drive to Capt. Griffin's territory, which

land Abbey waited and walked, but was
