Our nine had lots of trouble yester-
day.
The conduct of several of the ath-
letes was disgraceful, and even Null
booted a bunt and laughed with glee
TO see such fun. One of those off days
saws the man.
Even before the scene of action was
transformed into a paludal area by the
weeping smoke from the coal chute
Mulls minions were in need of a par
aclete. handicap of two runs for
the Highlanders, with us on the
scratch, was something few of our
leary fans contemplated with conf
dence. Before the end of the last sec
tion of this interesting game four more

Pathfinder found his way home.
Null had on WEIGHS yellow striped
sweater. The sweater seemed to have
faded all over the rest of our young
men. for streak of that familiar color
seemed to hang up the backs of all of
them after that first foolish inning.
Really it was rank.
Almost Tied the score.
For a long while It looked as If il

us bearing the cipher. but Matthews

Everybody thought the score would
be tied when J. passed the bag and
was coming down the line like a run

desperate drive and all hands saw that
he would be sidetratked at the rub
Der, when Null doomed up on the side
line and tackled him fair and square
above board and yanked him back to
the bag. That was the greatest dan
ger of tie up during the game, and
was a redeeming bit of endeavor in an
otherwise slack exhibition of the ma
tional pastime.
Burt's One-Handed Throw.
While the error column does not
show the real number of blunders, and
other troubles that beset some of our
young men. neither does it show one
of the prettiest plays yet chroncled.
Big Dan Burt hooked up with a long
drive of Blake's and with line throw
to the plate. cut Billy Smith off, COM
pleting a double that will long be re-
membered by the fans.
Dan also covered himself with glory
in the way he anticipated where Stew
art would hit the ball, and cut off two
nice drives by this ambitious youngster

left garden tender remained i'm his
regular position.
Thatcher Pitched Well.
After all the efforts Owner Boyer
has been making to strengthen the
team the results of yesterdays game
were crushing. 1t was tiresome to some
extent, although the visitors were put
ting uD brilliant exhibition.
General Grant Thatcher never pitch
ed better game in his life. He had
the visitors breaking their necks and
whitfield no less than eight. He had
everything ready for use, and used
them all with splendid effect. The
General has completely recovered from
his strenuous experience on the merry
go round, and his trip into the pro-
Vinces on the onion wagon.
Pig Iron Matthews comes from the
same deestrict as our Iron Puddler.

Moons labors F. Kohler delivered him

well, and after his hackers had won
a good lead for him he practiced with
his slow ball, but 1t was either over
high or went between Mr. Black S
legs.
