Conrad was one Of the many who
could not resist the temptation to en-
gage in the fascinating sport OF
angling while the waters were raging
at Bolton street bay Friday. He is
an ardent fisherman, and believes now
that there is a certain element of luck
in following in the steps of Old
Isaac.
Credit for that first victory is large
ly due to the angler. He curbed his
piscatorial passion for the day, and
emerged from the moaning waves with
a dogfsh in his pocket for luck. The
luck was there. The Gulls lowered
over the old pond, but the angler beat
'em out They acquired three skinny
singles, while the angler hit hard, but
without luck, assisting some in the run
getting The speed that Con cut loose
threw off a cool breeze that froze the
Gulls in their tracks. 1t does him
good to go fishing.
Doctor Childs left his card and re-
grets with us on the occasion of the
Gulls' last visit here. 1t was one of
those cloudy days when the NJ. d. used
his smooth bore delivery with splendid
effect, and we were BANKED until we
were white in the face. The Doc. gave
us a more soothing dose yesterday.
He is really possessed of a truly noble
spirit. In that third round Mr.. Mace
was hit hard on his left hand toe. At
first the ,arbiter thought both legs
were gone, and he looked appealingy
at the Red Cross pitcher. In that mo-
ment DOC" forgot the cruel treatment
he believed he was receiving at the
hands of the Jumps, and trotted into
the plate and talked drug store Latin
so fast and soothingly that Harry said
they need not telephone for the am
bulance. Childs should drop his present
NJ. d. graft and take up Christian
Science. He's great on the talk cure.
WeIch's Lady Friends Present.
The visitors looked pretty stout, but
when a fisherman gets after them all
is off. The one flea-bitten tally was an
accident. There were a large number
of lady friends of the fisherman pres
ent. and the thought they would en-
joy one of those swift shut out games
but before he had settled into the
groove for the straightaway that ag-
gravating mick who plays second for
the Gulls committed grand larceny of
the home bag, after several other petty
thefts. But after that Con went along
producing baseball history just the
same.
The visitors employed total of elev-
en- athletes to help with the disaster,
and the score cards looked like a letter
list advertisement. Hayes, first up in
the first, was a weakfish for the angler,
and he was whitfield back to the bench.
McKernan hit safe to center. stole sec
ond, went to third on Scrappy Smiths
out, and while Con was casting for an
other weakfish Mac stole home. Good
for Mac, he saved the white dose for
the bunch.
Mullets Tied Matters Up.
We tied the score in the second. Burt
hit so hard to the goldfish at third that
he refused to handle the bait. and d.
was SAFE. Miller dumped one down
the third base line, and Childs threw
TO second. Ten minutes late. Then
the real. simon-pure. midget slipped
up to the plate. He's even smaller
King, perhaps of the Liliputians. He
also dropped one in front of the plate
and in rotation Mr.. Childs flung Ia
third, the goldfish again getting cold
feet and dropped the ball.
King runs like duck swims-with
his head in the middle of his back
That is why his cap always drops of
within ten feet of first base. Anyhow
ne arrived, and after Roth had done
his little stunt OF three. the angler
took the rod and lambasted one hare
and straight. Hayes flashed across the
horizon, swiped at the sphere and
caught It to his breast In a fond EN-.
brace. He recovered a little slowly
