the bases with any degree of certainty.
They do all these things, but only occa-
sionally. Yesterday afternoons game was
a stiff fingered and one-sided exhibition
of the national sport. in which 1t was pos
sible to feel only that mild degree Of
interest with which one witnesses large

more's poor showing yesterday should not,
however, be taken as a fair sample Of her
ordinary form. 1t was a bleak, dispirit-
ing day. and they were without their
regular pitcher. Mr Hall. who occupied
the box for the visitors, failed to gauge
the strength of the wind properly and
the nine young men of Gallaudet simply
reached out their sticks when they chose
and did things to his delivery.

Gallaudet's Superiority Shown
The second inning brought nothing to
Baltimore and much to Gallaudet. When
the local team finally grew tired of gam
boiling around the bags 1t was discovered
that eleven men had crossed the plate
The rest of the game but served to accen-
tuate Gallaudet's superiority. Baltimore
not getting more than a look-in after that
period. Geilfuss started the slaughter in
the last half of the second with a pretty
hit to left field, which the wind blew out
of the hands OF .. Wilson. The rest Of
the team circled the bases in batting or
der while the Baltimore boys became
agitated and feIded the hits into the
plowed ground east of third base.
Neither team scored again until the
fourth inning. when the visitors from the
Monumental City took short-lived brace
Captain Andree put Waters in the box for
Gallaudet, and o. Wilson gave the first
hall thrown a clever poke, which de-
posted it prettily in deep centre for two
bags. Goldman took a walk to first ana
Wilson stole third. scoring later on the
bad throw of Andree. who thought to
catch him slu-ibering in that precinct
Goldman scored ON Edwards sacrifice,
and Hall hit a little one and beat it down
to first Ennis made the second out with
a fly into the mitt OF Rosson, who did the
houors of the right garden, and Hall
sprinted home. Chandlee retired his side
with three Intellectual sweeps at space
A combination of bases on balls, wild
throws. and frosty fingered work in the
Baltimore outfleld gave Gallaudet four
runs in her half of the fourth This in
ming was made memorable by sensa-
tional play of Ennis. Disturbed at the
sight of Andree fieeting by third base he
seized the bail and cast it wildly at a
passing freight train on the Baltimore ana
ohio Railroad 200 yards TO the eastward
The rest of the game was regular
comedy of errors. enlivened somewhat by
