pions' Last Appearance Today.

The game between the Superbas and
the Georgetown champions. yesterday. at
tracted a larger audience at National
Park than attended Mondays game. The
day was bright and sunny, yet cold
breeze prevailed, which seriously de-
tracted from the pleasure and comfort of
the spectators.
Many friends of the varsity favorites
were present, and vociferously encouraged
yells, and Notwithstanding they were con-
fronting great odds, the local collegians
put up a snappy and plucky game.
Ed Hanlon. whose principal object in
playing these exhibition games is to give
his regular lineup an opportunity to prac-
tice and get themselves in proper playing
condition, had in all his star players, as
signed to their regular positions, so that
he might judge OF their team work and
indulge in criticism where it would do the
most good.
When Tommy Simpson, the umpire.
called the game there were about five
hundred spectators present. The George
town lads started the ball rolling in the
first inning. Moran the first man up, was
an easy out from Yeager to Kelly, Downes
struck out, and Walsh died by the Ieager-
Kelly route. For the Brooklyns Sheckard

and came home on Smiths single. The
game was called at the end o! this in
ming the score standing to 3 in Brook
lyn's favor.
The game put up by the varsity boys
was a pleasing revelation 10 their friends.
Mackay's poor control was largely respon-
sible for the result. Nine bases on balls
is fatal to the best Of pitchers. The locals
made as many hits as the visitors and
they played the game in good style
throughout, proving they were foemen
worthy the efforts OF any club.
The Brooklyns play their last game this
afternoon, when their opponents will be
the Augusta Reserves. Game will be
called at 4:15 p. m.
