The weather was almost too cool for out
door athletics, from a spectators point or
view and the attendance was only moder-
ate.
The Senator'S to be consistent, continued
their bad work until the end. In the first
game, they played with some show of spirit
and made the contest worth witnessing
but in the second they grew careless and
almost turned it into a farce by not run
ming out hits and loafing after the ball IN
the field Barry Mccormick had his thumb
knocked out of place in Saturdays game

for home Saturday night and Lew Drill
caught both games.

Presentation.
While the games were going on the en-
ployes under Secretary Hewitt were having
some fun of their own. They caught Mr..
Hewitt in the ticket Office. locked the door
and then presented him with a handsome
pair Of diamond sleeve buttons. Walter
was taken completely by surprise, and was
only able to humble his thanks.
After the games Manager LOTUS was also
surrounded by the park employees. and a
beautiful set OF studs and sleeve buttons,
the latter set with diamonds. was given to
him. Manager Lotus had been 80 taken
up with arranging the closing details Of
the team that he had forgotten all about
social affairs. and when the presentati ton
was made the genial manager was not only
surprised but visibly embarrassed The
boys were delighted when they saw that
their little gift was appreciated, and the
sincere thanks uttered more than compen-
stated for set speech.
The Chicago club dressed at the club
house after the game so as to reach the
station in time for the $40 train for the
west.
