FOR BENEFIT OF ST ROSES CHURCH.
able, which is to take place at st Pat
rick's hall on next Wednesday even
ing, the eve of Thanksgiving day,
promises to be very successful. 1t is
for the benefit of St Roses church,
and the sociable in itself is unique.
Instead Of charging the regular ad-
mission fee, the committee have so
arranged it that those who receive
card and souvenir stocking will be ad
mlted by placing an amount equal to
the number that will represent twice
the number of the stocking they wear,
in their souvenir stocking, which
must be presented at the door. There
will be splendid program rendered.

might and main in the subsequent innings

Lynch and Washburn and the fast field
ing OF the entire college team prevented
them from crossing the plate.
While the Brown aggregation were very
much IN evidence, In the field, they were
very weak with the bat and went down
before Dunkles shoots like wheat before
a scythe. The Pennsylvania slab artist

manner In which he induced ten OF the
collegians to fan the April breeze. and

Flournoy was unable To connect with
the sphere and was retired by Lynch
twice on strikes. He shapes up well at
the bat and there Is rot much fear OF his
not being able tn hit. Sutor sullivan

critics.
Jim Stafford was the star OF the day,
making three pretty biagles. pelfering
two bases and making several catches i'm
the outlying gardens that brought the 1903
people 20 their feet.
The Brown team played splendid ball
nll through the nine innings and their de-
feat can be attributed 10 the effective
pitching OF Dunkie. IL can bS safely said
that the collegians will not go up against
