AT TELEGRAPHIc MATINEE.
How Jack Brennan Won His
 Game.

tame.
 It is doubtful If the famous voice of Adelina Patti when that nightingale was in her prime sounded half as sweet to enthusiastic thousands as did the dulcet tones of Jack Higgins at the matinee yesterday to the faithful fans who showed their loyalty to the Montgomery team.
 Jack Brennan pitched a remarkable gam- of ball and won his own game with a smashing hit in the second inning.
 Up to the last half of the seventh in- ming only one hit had been made off Brennan while he had only given one bass on balls and struck out one man.
 A drizzling rain began in the seventh and couple of punched hits put the Travellers only one run over and destroy ed the chance of Brennan getting shut out.
 The entire team played ball and their work after getting away from the "anYl chorus at home Is beginning to show.
 It was one, two, three with the Black Sox in the first inning and in the last half Gilbers hit safe. but was out stealing second, Spratt pulled down Murphy's foul fly and Busch got under Lynch's fly.
 In the second with one down, Stickney walked. Spratt flew out to right Clark hit safe and Buschs walk filled the bags. Then Jack Brennan won his own game by smashing out long drive to left scoring Stickney and Clark. Childs retiring the side with fly to Delehanty. In the last half Brennan gave his first base on balls. letting the hard hitting Delehanty walk McCanl sacrificed him to second. Childs got the heavy hitting Pat Wrights hit. Frank hitting towards first, Whistler going after 1t and Brennan covering the bag
 It was one. two. three with the Black Sox again in the first half of the third, and in the last half while Mailing hit one that must have been too hot for Spratt, the next three men retired the side.
 It was a case of nothing doing in the fourth and fifth innings, Brennan strik- ing out Dolan in the last half of the fifth.
 Kanzlier walked in the ,ixth and with | two down Stickney hit one too hot for Mahling to handle, Kanzlier scoring. In the last half 1t was one, two, three with, the Travellers, Molesworth getting two of the putouts and Stickney the other.
 In tho seventh Jack Brennan got his second hit of the game and Childs beat out a,slow one, but the side was retired without run.
 Spratt got in the way of Delehanty' s hit in the last half and there was one | down. McCann hit safe, but was forced out at second on Wright's hit to Busch, | Then came the only punched hits that | had been made on Brennan. With two down Frank hit safe and Wright scored on Mahling's hit Kanzlier getting Dolan s fly.
 In the eighth Whistler ana Stlckney | punched hits. but the side was retired without a run, the Travellers being han dled nicely in the last half. Kid Busch walked in the ninth and got to second on Brennans sacrifice, but the side was retired.
 An agonizing moment came for the fans in the last half. With McCann down Brennan used his noodle and gave the sec Jnd base on balls of the game, Wright walking. Frank hit safe and with Maal- ip0 lnnKad like anlther run and possibly the game for tke Travellers. Mahling sma shed the ball. a youngster in a gray uniform hurled himself in front of i. the ball was shot to Childs and Frank was out, Childs firing the ball to Whistler in time to get Mailing out. And there was another of the famous Black Sox do lbles and Jack Brennan had won | his own game.
