For four hours the cranks sat there.
with their JOY. on the start, up 10 the
bubbling-over point.
Ana when the monotony OF cheering
for the Cherute grew on apace, that
aforesaid detachment from the gallant
Rlues kept things I'm motion, and broke
the gathering apathy in thousand
bright and scinullating sparks CT en-
thusiasm and genuine e1ijoym ent.
Those boys will have good time, ana
make themselves and others happy in
the midst of n hand to-hand conflict with
the Spanish foeman And men as hght-
hearted as they will always be ready
and willing TO fight
The regulars I'm RoOters' Row were
not in it little bit with the boys In
blue OF the Blues. and they gave way
n them and enjoyed their sallies ana
remarks as much as the rankest
stranger would have done. Next Sat
urdav these boys expect to attend
bull fight in Havana.
The crowd was graced by the presence
OF large number of ladies, who ap-
-plauded their favorte players whenever
the opportunity arose.
The first game. which begun promptly
at 2:3O o'clock. was an easy one for the
Cherubs. although the Crew put in their
oars frequently ana tried 10 head them
of.
I'm 10 the sixth inning however. Moth
ing OF a sensational nature occurred to
mar the serenity with which the
Cherubic fleet sailed toward the harbor.
At that point a mine that had been
laid by the Crew exploded. and raised
the Cherubs battery to the extent OF
one run.
That was all.
The mines had been located by the
Cherub captain, and the feet sailed on 10
victory amid the cheers and whoops
of the cranks and the Blues attach
ment.
The score stood to and here is how
Il happened:
For two innings not thing happened.
Then Stocksdale. who was being utilized
at first bag in place OF Gutenberg, who

down again in a minute, for Hardesty,
out in centre. had his eve on Stocks

cracked the sphere out for two bags.
and scored a moment later on Hargys
single.
In the next inning Hess scored. He
was the first man up ands singled, going
down on Shannon's hit and scoring on
Leahy's death. Then a luli came over
the scene.

and Hess died. Then Sparks singled and
shannon safed on Weddige's error. Both
men scored when Danny Leahy hit for
two bags. and Stocksdale took walk.
SeybOld came UP again with homer
over the fence. bringing two runners In
with him. Harry followed with three
Dagger. but Il didn't count, for Dundon
died by the hand Of Wheeock.
The next inning was also fruitful. Kain
hit for two bags and scored on Sparks
single and Sparks scored on Deahys
double That was ALL but that was
enough.
During these stirring times the visitors
were unable 10 get in more than one run,
In the sixth Klusman singled. went to
second on "a choice, and scored on VENTS
nit.
The second game was fatal TO Rich
mond's interest Lever went IN to pitch
he was welcomed back to the fold with
great applause For six innings lie was
very effective. giving the visitors but one
h3t. In the seventh. however. they land
ed on him for three hits resulting in
two runs, and cinching the game that had
already been won. The way the game was
lost was like this:
When the second inning came along
Weddige was glen walk and went to
second on a choice. Berger sacrificed
him to third and ne scored on Staley's
out at first. In the seventh Knox hit for
two bags and scored on Weddige's sim
gle. The latter went down on VENTS
out at first and tailed on Staleys hit.
This closed it--and Norfolk had the game.
Tho Cherubs were really not shut out,
although Umpire Kelly said 50. In the
second inning Hargy scored easy at the
plate. there being absolutely no doubt
about It TO any one save the umpire. He
was called out and the play made
double. for Dundon had just died at
second. This run may not have changed
the result, but Il may. also, have had q
tendency 10 instill more ginger in the
game.
In the fifth inning a most deplorable ac-
cidene occurred. Two men were out and
Hardesty was at the bat. lie hit the ball
foul high On the air off near the Cherubs
bench and both Dundon and Hess ran for
f. Either player could have caught II,
but Dundons chances were better. Just
as the ball dropped the men ran into each
other with terrific force and fell to the
ground Dundon was knocked out COM
pletely and Hess tainted a minute later.
Both men were carried h the club house,
and there DR.. Oppenhimer attended them.
Dundon was badly shocked and bruised
and his left ankle was strained while
Hess suffered from a blow in the face,
affecting his nose and 1awbone. The in
juriss proved 10 be nothing serious and
the players will probably be In the game
in day or two.

two players will be missed. particularly
