Thursday Baltimore went to Philadel-

to make his debut was sufficient to draw

The quiet of the situation was sud-

The wOman's eyes were flashing and
she looked the picture of honest indig-

put his head into the car and then
stepped in. Only the man who was ac-
cused retained his composure. He had
been reading a newspaper and did not
lift his eyes. The woman rushed to-

Five games were played and Kilroy
pitched them all. They were almost
repetitions of the first game. After that
he played regularly with the team.
During the entire season which followed
the team defeated, one after the other,
all Of the crack amateur clubs of the
city.
The following season Kilroy started
in doing the same thing. By this time
the Port Richmond team, which had al
ways before been spoken of In a dis
%paraging manner, assumed a high stand
ing among h amateur clubs. Several
admirers of Kilroy went to see Billy
Shanig, then managing the Athletics
of the old American association, and
tried to persuade the latter to sign him.
Sharsig replied in the icy way for which
he was noted that Kilroy might be good
enough to pitch against the schoolboy
in the city, but that he would
be a child mons the real ball players.
When Kilroy heard this he made a
speech to himself. Just h he aid
has never been ascertained. but 1t Is sus-
pected hat he made a vow that he
prove Sharsig a disciple of Ana
Mas If ever an opportunity presented it

then managing the Baltimore American
association team, heard of Kilroy. Bar
ME was short of pitchers and he took a
run over to Philadelphia to see kilroy
pitch. Opposed to the Port Richmonds

sional team in the city. They got three
scratch hits and were shut out. When
went back TO Baltimore that
