A dead silence fell on the crowd a.

Her eyes flashed with anger, and
like dart her arm shot out, and
with finger extended she pointed at
one of the men.
Yer coward, Silas Deane! Yer

With an oath Silas Deane sprang

People living in the vicinity of the

MANAGER FRYSINGER PLEASED

Manager Frysinger is the hap
piest man in Wilmington today.
To a reporter for the Evening
Journal he expressed nis Joy at
the outcome Of the game. He
said:
q never expected to see such
a big crowd in Philadelphia, and
didn't think SO many people
would go up from here. should
have been perfectly satisfied to
see 10000 there.
1.-The otcome is all that could
be desired. The umpires could
not have been fairer, and the
double umpire system worked
perfectly. The Brandywine play
ers were gentlemanly and
played good ball. Steventon
pitched very nice ball and de-
served to win. l never saw our
boys play better ball. They ac-
cepted every chance. When a hit
was needed, they hit, and when
it was necessary to bunt, they
bunted and, all in all, did the
proper thing at the proper time.
THE reception upon our return
was surprising. I did not expect
to see more than two or three
hundred people, and when l saw
the thousands there l was
amazed. There was so much
cheering and so much noise that
/ couldn't hear the band, which
was playing Justify.
THE turnstiles registered
about $4,000 paid admissions, brt
the exact amount each player will
receive I cannot determine until
after tonight. l will go TO Phila-
delphia tonight to get the $1,000
posted with the Philadelphia In
quirer."

Mr.. Hollenborg filed a certificate, but

Mr.. Higgins, for Mr.. Phillips, a stock

proposition Of proceeding against a
