took advantage of the occasion, and were
present in goodly numbers, and ranged
in age from the said and sedate matron
to the demure and bewitching bud of
young womanhood All OF them We're
attired in their prettiest gowns and the
grandstand presented a charming appear
ance when viewed from the field. Indeed,
the stand looked like the Spring opening
of some millinery emporium. Those pres
ent apparently thoroughly enjoyed the oc-
casion, for they rooted and gave good
hand to every play that caused more
than passing notice, and on the whole the
| gentler sex left the field in excellent hu-
NOR at the end of the game.
Win Mercer. of course, was in the points
and he was hit quite freely by the boys
from Brooklyn.
The game was not remarkable for any
brilliant playing, but then there was =
feature. II was the stupid base rum
ming of the visitors. which, by the way,
lost them the chance TO tie the score III
the ninth.
The Senators played good game, and
hit the ball at opportune moments, as
the score will show. Out of nine hits they
managed to net eight runs, while the
| Brooklyns with sixteen hits to the good,
| could only secure six tallies.
Farrell was on the first base yesterday
and Leahy on third, while Doyle held
down second, and each played his re-
| spective position in good style.
! When Tommy Tucker stepped to the
plate in the second inning he was given
a good hand, and responded by flying out
| TO Brown.
Wrigley made a double play ulassisted
in the first inning and was applauded To
the echo.
The Senators play the Brooklyns AGAIN
today. and il is expected that one Of the
youngsters will be given a chance in the
box.
