hit in presenting Perry Werden with a
lot of flowers. 1t disconnected the old
man and he proved an easy victim for
McNeeley the first time up. After that

pie pie to him. II must, therefore, be
concluded that some one unintentionally
cheated us out OF another hit.
The only error gathered in by the
Saints was made by Crooks and it came
III the very first inning. The king

In the hurry attending the opening game
1t is possible that all things could not be
attended to, but it will do no harm to
call attention to some Of the Things that
ought to be done. In the first place the
extra cars that so the grounds should
carry people to the main gate and not
dump them OFF at Lexington avenue. The
officials of the club should Insist that the
street railway company run the cars to
the gate. And when the game is over
the officials should also insist that the
street car company provide cars in which
to get home. There was not an extra
car available after yesterdays game I'M
til twenty minutes after the game was
over, and In the meantime the people
had been packed in the regular cars like
sardines. This is one of the things that
win keep lots of people at home. Finally
the CLUB officials should keep the street
around the park sprinkled The dust
there is half foot deep and it comes
UP in clouds at all times. 1t makes a
horrible dream of life whenever the cars
or teams go by. re these little things are
attended to it will mean very little ex-
pense and will draw many extra dol
la! 10 the games.
