DUCKBILLS DEFEATED.
Knickerbockers Lose Their First Game
to Brookside A. G.

to Brookside A. G.
1t was hopeful, fearful and highly
enthusiastic crowd of young men that
donned baseball suits and duokbill
caps last Saturday and went forth
to conquer the baseball world, begin
ming at Brookside. These young men
known as the ball tossers of the Knick-
erbocl1er Baseball Club were desirous
of making deep dent in baseball
circles. They hoped to cover them
selves with glory, for it was their
first game and if won would give
them a prestige which would take
them against the best mines in the
state.
Well, they went, they saw, they
played, but, unlike Caesar, they did
not conquer. Notwithstanding their
failure to win the first game they are
not discouraged in the least, for
they put up fine article of ball after
the third inning and they know it.
They were somewhat ratified on first
going into the field for they had never
before played as team. That is what
accounts for the bad showing at the
first of the game. But when they
got settled down to business they
showed what they could do.
1t is sure thing that the Duck
bills will make themselves felt dur
! ing the rest of the season.
A one-hand catch by Bray in the
eighth inning was the feature of the
game.
The return game will be played on
Randolph field, June 23.

and hope to make the Yale boys
hustle.
TOMORROW'S GAMES.
The Knickerbockers will meet the
Lawyers on Randolph Field tomor-
row afternoon. This is the time the
Duckbills' will show what they car
do in the way of piling up a good
score. Still the Lawyers are no cinch,

to WELD the willow with the best o.

#Did not finish the first heat.
The second event was trot and
pace, half-mile heats, with three
horses to start. They were Amokin,
bl. g. (Theo. Maxfeld); Myrtle Wilkes,
b. m. (E. L. Durling) and an un-
named bay gelding driven by Isaac
Hulley. When they came to the start
it was decided that the horses should
go mile, but that they should be
timed only the last half
There was lot of fun in this race.
Maxfield is foxy driver. He knows
that Amokin can go in 20 or better
any day in the week. He also knows
that there is no use giving the horse
record anything like that, and he
manipulates the driving accordingly.
In the first heat of this race Maxtield
trailed Hulley for three-quarters OF q
mile leaving Hulley and Durling to
fight for the lead When the three
quarter pole was reached Maxfield
drew to the outside of the track. 1t
seemed like a big undertaking for
Maxfield, but he knew what he was
about. The three horses came into
the stretch abreast and then it was an
easy thing for Maxfeld to take the
lead, which he did, making grand
stand finish and winning in 1873 The
crowd applauded and Mr.. Maxfeld
