7 Ace Stewards fabricated twirling
and the seventeen robust sWats or the
Budding Champs slapsticks took the
tuck out of Mr.. Johnstons orphans
from up river and wound up these
park warming festivities in most hit
ting manner. Score, II to 2.
Great doings marked the opening or
our new downtown play grounds. The
honorable mayor and the city fathers
occupied select seats in the new grand
stand. and while Marlow'S military
other enthusiastic bits G.. Lennon es-
corted his honor to the slab.
After the busy photographers had
draped the Saints around the mayor
as a background and had snapped
record of this great event his honor
drew a nice new ball from Mr.. Fore
man and heaved it over in a very nifty
fashion. The mayor also spoke con-
siderable talk, which was received
with much enthusiasm by the 4,214.
Among the other notables who as
sisted in making this a gala day were
r. Jefferson Hickey, the president OF
the association and Mr.. Watkins, own
er and director of the famous Indian
band which is to perform at the new
park this afternoon.
Having watched his team lose seven
games in a row Mr.. Watkins was al
most ticlled to death to see the popu-
lace pile into the stands. If yesterday
had not been an off day in the Hickey
league Mr.. Watkins would have drawn
q cut of the opening day gate money
and every time he sized the crowd up
he thought about it.
Mr.. Hickey disappointed the fanatics
by refusing to follow the mayor to the
slab. While a brave man, the league
leader now refuses to take unnecessary
chances. He is willing to guide the as
Sociation by the rocks and rapids that
threaten in these troublesome times,
but close inspection of his bond fails
to find where it is up to him to pose as
an umpire saver, and since that rescue
of T. Mullane at Toledo Mr.. Hickey
has been living up to his contract. The
esteemed leader may have been salts

but anxious to play safe he started

Stimmel also gathered his bumps in
punches, and anxious to wipe out the
blot he applied for the chance to break
up the happy opening day party. Five
singles in the first round rather dis

only collected twelve more, one of them
a double and another a heimlauf, Mr..
Stimmel need not feel discouraged.
