The attendance at the games at Broad
Street Park yesterday afternoon was not
as large as heretofore, hut twas en-
couraging. The games were well played.
and the results show that the two teams
are still close in strength md ability.
The line-up was strong, with the
Brownies slightly to IN advantage, aWiA-
ston and Lewis won their games. while
Fitz, Knowles and SHulcher were the los
ing pitchers. although it is a question
as to whether FIulcher would not have
won had lie taken UP the game on the
start. Knowles was hit hard in the first
Inning, six runs resulting. After that
Hulcher held tho hard-hittins Imperlals
down to three runs
The first game WAS the best. 1t stretch
ed out to eleven innings. when the
Brownies luck doomed u land three runs
resulted.
The lineup was as usual with the
Brownies-Frost, BiEbie, Hicks, Encio,
Jones, Knowles, Sharp, McIIvoy and Win
ston.

into pitch against Lewis. The lmperinls
landed on him for five runs, and afteratho
agony was over Hulcher went In, but
it was too late, and Lewis held tho
Brownies down to four runs, while his
W team went forward to tho further

The lineup in this game was the Same
as the first, with the exception OF tho
pitchers.
the season closed with Mr., Duke. the best
umpire Of the year, officiating, and q
goodly crowd Of rooters to bid farewell
to 4 most successful baseball season.
Outlook for Next Year.
The outlook for next season is bright.
There will be the same arrangement ms
this season, so far, as the league is cons
cerned. There Is some talk OF getting q
new mark near the Reservoir, and con-
%venlent to both car lines. This matter
is now under consideration by people&w'tih
capital, The idea Is to make OF the parK
a general athletic field, for big foot-hall
games, baseball and other outdoor sports
and attractions,
With this field the promoters feel that
many OF the big football elevens ma DO
brought here for the preliminary games,
There will be no State OF Eastern
League clubs here next season. Ihnt IS
almost certain now, Blu there VIII 30 q
strong local league, stronger even than
that OF the season Just closed, the NY
airy will be greater, and II the acranks
take tho interest that was shown ms
year, the following season may see asso-
citation ball.
In the Twin City League some strong
MA yers developed. Fitz, LOWS, WINSTON
and Carrie, with Hulcher, are s1rops
enough for bigger leagues, but another
wear will season them. McLeayy IS ~
good as most catchers In any, League, ana
lie has developed dnto q hard Mtter.
Frost, Hooker and the Bigbses are pro
fcssional players, while Rose. sharp, ivy,
Nor. Jones, Bache, Boone, knoWles ahu
NKnightly are fine. noI
ne.t season, whether at Broad stFeet
PARK or the proposed athletic held, i
