No sooner has the ticker reported

panied by a few clerks and porters,
hastens to the foot of Cortlandt street
and boards the Postmaster General,

equipped with spacious mailrooms,
shoots for TRANSFORMING sacks, and
other expediting appliances. Steam is

aboard through the shoots, while the

to imagine that the pioneers were al

been understood since Ruskin opened

The McGraths and the Cullens met on
the Mercer street grounds Sunday and
played the second game of a series. The
contest was an excellent one and showed
that the boys have considerable knowl-
edge of the game. Their score shows
that no errors were made by either team.
The peculiar feature of the game was that
the Cullens made more hits than the Nc
Graths and yet they were beaten by a
score of 3 to L. The secret of the Me-
Graths success was in the punching of
their hits. Cullen and McGrath them
selves did the twirling. Both were strong
and reliable, though Cullen had a shade
the better of his opponent.
The McGraths went to the bat first and
got onto Cullen right away. They scored
three hits and one run. The tally was
made on Curriess double. The next two
innings saw the McGraths shut out and
they added one more in the fourth. Two
innings in which there was no chance of
scoring followed, and again one more run
was made in the seventh. There were no
more figures for the McGraths. but they
had enough in view of the fact that the
only scoring the Cullens managed to do
was one run in the last inning. The
score.-

very easily in five innings on the latter's
grounds Saturday. The winners are
credited with a faultless game, while
there are eleven errors marked UP against
the Woedwards. In hits the Woodwards
were superior, but they failed to bunch
and were carefully looked after in the
field.
The Blu Bells took up the willow
branch first and pounded out a good
bunch of hits and did not stop until the
rubber was bounced on half a dozen times.
The next two innings gave the Blue Bells
three runs in each. In the meantime the
Woodwards were scoring one run in each
of the three innings. Both sides were
shut out in the fourth and a bunch of two
in the fifth by the Blu Bells as against
five by the Woodwards made the score IA

ever came to winning the game. Two
runs in the sixth for the Blue Bells and
