in center fer the biggest part of the
game and ran around more frisky than
colt. DR.. Watkins took his place.
DR.. Underwood was the first pitcher
for the doctors. He delayed the game
| in the first lining because his trousers
became loose and he feared to continue.
While the other players punched
| around him he tied himself together
| and resumed. He was chiefly noticeable
yesterday for his sang froid. Nothing
could disturb him, not even cannon
shot DR.. Ryan took his place later and
had a little taste of bad medicine, for
the lawyers were doing great big
things in the batting line. DR.. Kelley,
the manager, wanted a crack at the
ball, and in the last inning took DR..
Ryan's place at the plate. He felt sat
lsfied when he cracked out a hit. An
instant later he started for second with
| as much speed as C steam roller going
up hill, and he came back. Catcher
Stewart walked down after he caught
the ball and touched DR.. Kelley before
the latter reached the base.
The lawyers had a great team. Tom
Sullivan was pitcher He had a motion
that would earn him a salary with the
,Bostons if he could pitch ball we'll He
has wonderful motion. OF course mo-
| ton isn't everything III the art of pitch
ing, but it's something, and Pitcher
Sullivan had that much of the art,
anyway.
Ralph Stewart was catcher. He was
too good for that position, and should
have been removed from the game.
| web" Thayer played second base. The
doughty little fellow distinguished him
| self by his coaching while his side was
at bat. He seated himself on the third
| base line and slipped a bottle of ginger
ale very contentedly. John f. jan
l a To1o oil ~,
| He distinguished himself by holding a
| ball after he had collided with Henry
| Parker, and had torn a piece out of the
! latters ear. Sake, who played third
base, didn't have anything to do, and
he didn't look as if it hurt him to do
it. Charlie Tatman played shortstop.
| He covered ground like a bicycle rider
out for a record. Henry Parker
munched the grass of centre field. Sib-
| ley, on first base, was another player
who was altogether too speedy for the
| class, and showed that his memory has
! not allowed him to forget how to play
Bob" Washburn was given left field
to look after, He did it as we'll as he
| would look after an estate if the retain
er was good-sized one, but it was dur
| ing his sides turn at bat that he dis
| tinguished himself. He won the prize
| offered by II d. Gard a silver medal,
| offered for the player making the most
! hits. Several had five hits each, but
| Mr.. Washburn had two doubles, a
higher number of total bases than any
| body else. His sliding to bases was
the bright feature of the game He
wore an outing shirt that looked pretty
| for a minute. He must have several
more, for he displayed no considera-
ton for the shirt bosom. Every time
| he went anywhere near a base, he went
! down on the ground. He acted as. if
| he would rather be down than stand
ing.
ball everywhere and because the doc
| tors didn't catch or stop many that
| they should have done.
| The first inning was really good.
! There were several good stops and
| catches. When the doctors opened
| and DR.. Cronin was ut the bat, some
body yelled: Now, Henry, hit it over
the fence'' He hit the first ball pitched,
over the fence, and the band played,
After the ball." In the second the
doctors began to make errors, and it
was all off after that. DR.. Underwood
started it by dropping a little fly that
didn't look able to get away from him.
| There were several plays that would
arouse the envy of professional ball
! players. Jandron made a running catch
of hot ball from Macl1ie's bat which
would be credit to anybody. Tatman
made a good running catch in centre
| field. Stewart got after foul fly
back of him in the seventh, and made
pretty catch. Mackie played an ex-
cellent game, and several stops that
| DIR. Baker made were much better than
could be expected from a person who
has not played for years. The lawyers
| played good ball. For six innings
they didn't make an error, and they
made several star plays to prevent bad
work. They scored only two errors in
the entire game.
| One of the features of the game was
the umpiring. Col. S. E. Winslow was
umpire and Harry L. Dadmun his as
sistant. Col. Winslow couldn't stand
| the strain, and gave it up after half
