TWAS A SORE DEFEAT
BIOWnSOn Walloped by Chester Athletics
in a One-Sided Game

To the disappointment of over 900
spectators, the Chester Athletics
trounced the BrOwnson yesterday after
noon by a score of - to 3.
The defeat was a crushing one, but,
after all, there was some little ex-
cuse, as the team was crippled,
Burchall being In the hospital and Daw-
sons eyesight defective. Mr.. Dawson
had been on a moonlight the night be
fore, and, upon returning, at once went
TO work. He came on the field without
any sleep, and Guests curves puzzled
him. The crowd jumped on him un-
merclfully when he called a ball that
Guest hit at a bah instead Of a strike.
thus giving him four swings at the
sphere. He walked off the field and re
fused to umpire the game but, after
a little persuasion, returned. and his
decisions were satisfactory.
In the sixth inning Walker was taken
out Of the box. and as there was no
other available pitcher, Onnie O'Gor-
man took his place. Not having pitched
for six years, Onney was wild at first
but finally steadied himself, and but
three runs were scored off Of his deliv-
cry

The crowds are kicking
-Four games lost this week
By the courtesy Of Dawson, Guest got
four strikes.
Nowistown was defeated by Brandy
wine yesterday by a score Of 8 to ?.
Atlantic City downed Chester in a
game yesterday. the score being to 3.
Onney O'Gorman showed his nerve in
the sixth, when he took Walkers place
in the box.
When BILLY" Day wrapped out that
three-bagger people at Fourth and Mar
ket heard the yell that went up from
the crowd.
Dawson has a great voice, but his
eyesight appears TO be defective az
times. Moonlight excursions do not
agree with him.
Coffeys first game with Brownsor
couldn't have given him any too higt
an opinion Of their ability as bal
tossers.
Tommy" Doran is a great catcher
but they win break him down if he &
made to keep up the present gait II,

he signed.

WEIGHT by Inches,

sForty and half" sung out the cut
ter of Chestnut street tailoring firm
as he passed the tape across a custom
er's chest. Thirty-eight was registered
when the measure girded the custom
er';s waist, and then the cutter stepped
back and sized up the patrons height
as compared with that of the salesman
who was recording the measurements.
"Your weight is 165 pounds" he
said.
zone sixty-seven," spoke up the man
who was being measured for coat
"Eow did you guess it:'
"No cuesswork about it. simply
compared your height with that Of the
salesman here, who is 5 feet S inches
tall. You arc about two inches taller,
or. say, 5 feet 10 inches. With chest
and waist measurements and mans
height figured out can come within a
pound or two Of his weight every time
as my close estimate Of your avoirdu'
pois proves. Of course there are ex'
ceptions, notably the man with the
very slim waist and wide shoulders
who is invariably much lighter in build
than his appearance and measurements
indicate. Ia that case drop about ten
pounds from my figures and manage tc
come pretty near the mark."-Philadel

The SmotherinG Scene.

AS to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days. The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed OF one
occasion when a lady was playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello dis
astrous and at the same time ludicrous
effect, though Of course unrehearsed,
had been imminent through the lack of
even q nail OF two to make an old stool
steady.
It was the smothering scene, and the
couch was made up Of two chairs and a
rickety stool covered, of course, with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe. Imagine Desdemona endear-
oring to recline gracefully, all the while
feeling portions Of her couch sliding
from under her. This is how the scene
was played out:
Desdemona-Kill rue tomorrow; let me live tc'
night. Q'n falling, dearD
othello-Nay, If you strive (Keep quite stlll.)
Desoemona-but naIi an houf. Not' Aoio 'N( ~,
Othello-Being done, there is no pause QIl
push the stool under)
Desdenona-But while say prayer. QDo be
quick, Robert, it is slipping.)
Othello-It IS too late!
Which, indeed, it was, for the bed col
lapsed, and Desdemonas body lay up
on the floor, her head upon the sole
chair, which stuck 70 its post faithful
ly.-Gentleman's Magazine.

COME EDYIN THE AMBULANCE
a Doctors Story Of q Man and "o-
man, Each With a Broken Leg.

A Doctors Story Of Man and Wo-
man, Each With a Broken Leg.
ssWhen I was an ambulance sur
geon," said the young family physi-
clan, ct used to start like fire horse
at the sound Of the call. I was just as
much interested in the work at the end
of two years as was the day began.
It was the excitement CT the life that
made me so fond Of it. I had all sorts
Of experiences at all sorts Of hours.
There was an element Of danger in it,
too, but that only added to the charm.
"One night had call from the west
side in the neighborhood Of Chelsea
square. 1t was for drunken man who
fell down ard broke his leg. On the
way back to the hospital with him I
picked up drunken woman to whom
similar accident had happened. There
was nothing to do but put her in the
ambulance along with the man.
"After that the ride across town was
exciting enough for cowboy. At first
the patients sympathized with each
other. Then they began to cry in cho-
rus. At Broadway they fell to kissing
each other. At Third avenue they were
fighting like a pair Of Kilkenny cats,
and I had my hands full in keeping
them apart. The woman had scratch
ed the mans face dreadfully, and be
haG nearly closed her eye with punch.
When we struck the asphalt in Twen-
ty-sixth street, they were singing we
Have All Been There Before Many a
Time and such singing! The uproar
attracted q crowd who evidently
thought I had an ambulance full Of lu-
natics. When we reached the gate,
they swore eternal friendship, and at
the Office they parted in tears."-New
