sheeplShly after 1t and Lucy gave a
little giggle and sent two strikes
over the home plate while he was
after his club. Ed stared blankly
when he was called out. The boys
got in two runs in the inning.
The third was disastrous one to
the boys and a big goose egg was
laid on their side of the score. The
girls made one run. The feature of
the inning was a beautiful catch
made by Belle Jennings in left field.
Lansdon had lifted the white globe
into the clouds, Belle shaded her
eyes and saw it settling her way.
She made swift run and picked it
as neatly as if it had been a pop
corn ball tossed at feet. Belle was
bouncing, mischievous thing with
hair done into ''bucking rolf from
one ear to the other. She was evil
IDENTIFY bit Irish and the way she
would prance between third and
home, shouting "Nobuddy tha- ah,
nobuddy tha-ah," every time Weiser
failed to catch ball, was delicious.
"Slide, Carrie, slide" she would
shout as her little brown paws smote
the air. Whenever the decision of a
close point was in favor of the girls,
she would coo 'so-o-oh, what a nice
umpi-ahl, until Boutwell, blushed as
red as the girls own bloomers She
would throw goo goo eyes at the
pitcher until he would give base on
balls, and then she would gigele
"Now, Sophy, take cake walk to
first"
The boys came to the fourth in
ming with score of only 5 runs to
the girls 10, and they determined
1t was time to show the girls that
they were playing big strong men.
This determination brought them
eight runs, the boys just simply
formed procession around the dia-
mond. The girls got another O,

with the black braid tied with red
ribbon, made dash around to third.
giving Patterson the opportunity
which made him the hero of the
game. Mae had tapped light one
which went to first and put her out
and was then sent across the diamond
to third. Patterson nailed the bali
and faced Maud who was coming
from second like whirlwind. Patsy
just simply opened his arms wide
and when Maud pumped into them
the impact caused them to close and
as she gasped for breath With her
head resting lightly on his shoulder
he lightly thumped her between the
shoulders with the ball. and the side
was out.
In the 9th Belle made another
beautiful catch of high fly to left
field from Patterson. The honors were
even, each side scoring one.
The sixth was a quick one the boys
getting one and the girls none Net
tie Woods, the one with the dark
name and frown, made a brilliant
slide to third which should have
been given her-at least. she seemed
accustomed to getting the decision
on that play, because she gave the
umpire frightful look of contempt,
rubbed her hip ruefully, pulled out
hair pin that had been driven into
her skull and poked over to the bench
with an Lean t. find the hairbrush
gait
The 18th was as short as the 9th
and gave the same respective scores.
Ed Davis had been restless with
envy over Patterson's luck in the 18th

managed to stub his toe just as he
reached the base and WAS forced to
throw his arms around Nellie Will |

knows what she said to him but Ed
was seen to explain profusely and
say that he couldn't help it {"
The Eighth and Ninth gave 3 more
scores to the boys and 2 to the girls
making the total II to 13 in favor
of the home team.
