out in good numbers in Washington Park
to see them run up against the Brooklyn
Superbas Manager Hanlon decided to try
his crack pitcher, Maui, as the weather was
warm, but the latter did not exert himself,
as he will later on. He did not have proper
control, and was hit so hard in the first
four innings that he was finally relieved by
- Dunn who has been on the hospital list
with a split finger. Jack was not at his
best, either, and was pounded quite hard at
times, but his support was magnificent,
which pulled him out OF several predica-
ments. In spite of this rather inferior box
work, which netted the visitors fourteen
hits, the Brooklyns did enough heavy bat
ting of the veteran Weyhing to win quite
handily. Tom DAILY was the star of them
all. with four hits and several beautiful
plays in the field. Anderson was not far
behind him with three pretty drives, while
Padden was easily in possession Of Wash

he put Mercer on third, Cassidy on first.

After Freeman had been retired in the
fourth Padden singled and Casey tuggled

Slagles easy fly. Gettman's terrific liner
was gobbled by McGann for the third out
and Hanlon decided to take Maui out.
The Brooklyns took the lead in their half.
McGann was hit by a pitched ball and
scored by the fastest kind of sprinting on
Daly's two bagger. Charley Farrell then
lined the ball past Slagle, clear to the
picket fence in centre field and made a
fine home run.

Then the Brooklyns fell upon weighing and
won the game. Dahlen doubled and tied
the score on Anderson's corking two-bast
hit TO right. McGann was hit by pitch
