but so many Of the players fall down
when they run to catch the ball that the
suits don't look bit nice after while.
But it was an awfully exciting game
You see the point is for the man to run
from one base to another until he gets
back to where he started. II he does
this all at once it's called a home run,
and is awfully exciting The people get
SO enthusiastic. Bob called them root

have to go home unless he stopped using
such horrid slang. So l can't tell just
exactly what ''rooters'' are.
But to go on with the game. First one
side went out and played with just one
man on the other side at the bat Then
after a while the other side went out.
Why do they change? Because, goosie,
don't you see they'd get tired if one side
played all the time O, yes, and when
they change back and forth like that
Bob says they call them innings. There
were lots of innings yesterday and, Of
course, that made it exciting.
Do I like football better? Well, It's
more thrilling. When we were East last
fall we saw some of the big games, and
there was always some one who had to
be carried from the field, and sometimes
there were as many as half dozen. Bob
said it was ''rlppin," whatever that may
be, but he says he likes base ball better.

very important parsonage who seemed
TO have more to do with the game than
anybody else there. Bob said he was the

players exactly what to do in eInergen-

some of the people thought him rather
interfering yesterday, for 1 heard some
make disparaging remarks about him.

EXCITING TO THE END.
Minneapolis Beaten in a Close Game
by the Brewers.


by the Brewers.
Loose fielding and slow base running by
the home team. together with some time
ly hitting by the Brewers, were respon-
sible for the Millers losing the first game
on the Minneapolis grounds yesterday
afternoon. DR.. Harley Parker was in
the box for Minneapolis. The doctor was
hit hard at times, and he helped mater
tally to lose his own game by throwing
the ball into the right field bleachers in
the sixth inning. He was also very I'M
steady, giving five bases on balls.
About q thousand fans travelled out to
Nicollet park to see the opening game of
the season, and they saw a contest that
was replete with excitement from the
very first inning. The result of the game
was in doubt up to the time that Buck
Weaver slammed out q single which
scored the winning run for Milwaukee
in the ninth inning, with two men out
Wilmots aggregation hit Hart hard
enough to win a couple of ordinary games
and but for Parkers wildness and the
streak of yellow which pervaded the
fielding Of the team, the result would have
been different. Wimot himself was re-
sponsible for a couple of runs, through
his muff Of Hallman's fly in the first In
ming. Germany Smith also had q hole
in his nit and let a grounder from Grays
bat get from him. This error was costly
Abbatachfo helped in the Brewers total
by very yellow play, and Harley Parker
was another contributor. These four were
the only errors that appeared in the
score, but the fielding generally was Of a
loose character, and noticeable lack of
team work was to be seen. Attendance

One OF the chief attractions of Central

Egyptian obelisk erected opposite the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art This an
Client monolith was erected in Central
Park in 1881, having been transported
from Alexandria, under charge of Lieu
tenant Commander Gorringe. II was as
serted that the severity OF our climate
would cause disintegration, and steps were
taken 10 prevent this. or 10 reduce IL to
a minimum. 4 careful examination made
recently proves that in spite OF the care
taken 10 prevent II the process Of disin-
tegratlon has been going on. The raw
ages 81 the weather are particularly no
uceable on the west face of the obellsk
which has scaly appearance in certain
places. This is the side upon which the
smart rested when partly buried in the
sands OF Egypt and the hieroglypics on
II are much fainter than on the other
three surfaces. Then, the crack which
extends from the base TO the south side
OF the obelisk has been gradually spread
ing, although IL was filled with a wooden
plug covered with cement when the
stone was erected on its present site
The authorities who have charge of the
obelisk Will make a thorough investiga-
ton, and IL IL can be shown that the
monument is in danger Of destruction by
being exposed TO the Indictment elements
II will probably be removed and exhib-
tied under cover.
