When it was all done but the shouting
there was very little in it. Doyle was
hit early and often, and at the end OF
the sixth inning retired from the box in

FORM Young Donlin, who pitched for
the visitors, lost his nerve when the
crowd jeered him, and lost his own
game after he had got an apparent
cinch on it.
There were few snappy plays made,
and aside from the heavy hitting of
both teams the game was very COM
monplace.
While Jack OConnell did fairly well
as Umpire. he was ragged on balls and
strikes. He pleased the crowd, how
ever, though toward the close the visi-
tors (kickers alp had much to say to
him. They talked to give Donlin time
to rest and the locals did not appear
to catch the point.
After the game, Pace, the big catcher,
tackled O'Connell at Tenth and K
streets and accused him of rankness.
Pace, according to bystanders, poked
O'Connell in the neck, and O'Connell
retaliated by a punch in the eye. Then
O'Connell went inside to get drink
(of water, probably and Pace shortly
afterward showed up at the rear door
but was stopped by the proprietor of
the hotel A few minutes later he ap-
peared at the front door, where he took
from under his coat hatchet. Whether
he intended to carve O'Connell with the
hatchet or whether he was carrying
it around just for fun is not known, for
at that moment Officer Wilson came
along, and gathering the big ca,cher
under his wing landed him in the city
bastile.
The game started off all right. Dem

transportation to the initial, but was
out a second on Harvey's bunt, the lat

and Donlin repeated the performance
second later. Devereaux dropped one
with whiskers to Doyle, and nobody
got line on the initial.
In the second the Gilts went out in
one, two. three order. while for the vis-
itors. Pace led off with the first base
hit of the game, sending the leather
over Sheehan's head. Clark bunted a
fly to Doyle and Pace was still at the
initial Then Streib shot one out into
Harvey's territory. Harvey kicked the
ball around, and Pace went on to third

music and shot an ugly one to the
score board for two bags and Streib
scored The next two I'D were easy
and the score was to o in favor of the
boys from the sad, sad sea.
In the first half of the third, after
Stulz had expired, Sheehan shot out the
first hit for the locals. 1t spun along
over second, and Tommy went to sec
ond on a wild pitch. Admiral Denny
again played the game, taking first on
balls. Harvey struck out and Dennie
was caught at third by neat play on
the part of Pace.
For the visitors, Williams succumbed
to Doyle's curves and Donlin took first
on Sheehan's tumble of his easy one.
Donlin flew to Harvey. and Pace hit
safe short one over Egan's head. both
runners safe. Clark hit safe to Doyle
and the bases were full. Then Streib,
who in the second smashed out a two
bagger. rolled one to the corner of the
pasture. and Donlin, Pace and Clark
crossed the plate. brennan poked out
a safe one, Streib scored and Kleiber
smashed out another safe one, scoring
brennan. Kleiber, however, was cap
tured at second and the score was
