south Atlantic standing.

Down the entire vista of the nine
periods allotted to us yesterday. my
son, we were on a fumblins funk to
Fadedom.
Three servers of the swerving sphere
gandered ecstatically into the vortex
of the battle, only shortly to neander
forth crestfallen and much beswatted.
Some who We're there in that i'm
mense throng remembered even when
disaster was certain that the world
loves a fighter" and this declaration Of
the immortal Caesar seemed not to
have been forgotten.
Right up into the midst of the smoky
haze of the June twilight Null ordered
all hands to charge and charge again.
but the Gulls of prey had taken their
flight early and the score of IL to 3
stood mockingly at the end of the
ninth a discomhtng finale of a series
so richly reproductive to our standing.
Runs we had. Enough to win the
game. They had more. They had
enough to win three games. They had
enough to tie us before the Big Chief
could yank the youth with the ribald
plumage off the battlements. Red
Kline has had too much of the han
ding of the large bundle which pro-
voked Null to compare the band to
bunch of immigrants Smaller globes
were beyond his control, and when he
did get one over the plate, my, how
they did hit it. He rang the bell on
two and they walked to the first portal
and were punched the rest of the dis
lance around the quadrangle by Vi
cious stabs. before Red was finally
yanked forth end Sir Walter Raleigh
essayed to save the day. He got his
and George Washington Ogle was the
final resort.
Not Altogether Responsible.
The three largest crowds that have
yet attended the park have seen the
PathflndeTs perform in a comedy of
errors. on opening day the same MIR.
Childs, who operated on our batting
aN erages yesterday, shattered our hopes
with his mastery performances from
thc pitchers box. The second great
saster was when Weyman Harmon
occupied the headlines in the final game
against Macon. and yesterday, the
wcrst os all.
Indifferent pitching was but a part
of the cause. Dumb plays, thousand
times worse than legitimate errors, flg-
Gred largely in the most ragged eXhi .
bit.on yet put up by the locals. An
errorless play on our part may not have
saved the day, but it would have saved
us the intense humiliation.
Seorst was the first TO lose his head.
With man on third base the ball was
rolled easily TO him. and he tossed 1t
over to first instead of cutting the run
off at the plate. Another instance was
that in the third, when Y. Kennedy
was on third and Dan Burt was safe
at first. Burt drew a throw TO second
and stopped half way between the lines
to permit Kennedy to score, but the
aforesaid Mr.. Kennedy, dug his spikes
deep into the third sack ana stood alone
and unheedng to the frantic calls of
"go home, go home" No this would
not have changed the result. but it
would have saved undesired expressions
of opinion.
smith Hit Home Run.
The tale of the run getting is too
tiresome to repeat. Smiths home ~un
was a feature of the visitors stick
work. McKernan was also hard at
work fattening his batting average,
getting four nice ones out of six times
up.
OF the seven errors charged to the
Pathhnders the two against Ray were
excusable. The others were rank.
Our first run was secured in the
second after two free passes to first,
and two clean singles, had Melted the
visitors three. Mullaney walked, and
was sacrificed to second by Ray, scor-
ing on Holmes single.
The visitors scored one in the third
On a single. an error in center field
and wild pitch. In the fifth an err
ror at third. a home run drive over
the five dollar sign on the left field
fence by Smith, a free pass to first and
a tumble at short netted three more.
The same pace was kept up in the
sixth when three more were scored and
in the eighth four were piled up, and
looked very much like the fire depart
