Our social favorites always do their
best on Friday. and after it was APP
parent that there would be no more
additions to the beautiful millinery dis
play in the grand stand all hands turn
ed their eyes to the work TO be accom-
plished.
This work was commenced in the
third after those belated Tourists had
already learned the way home by
themselves. Our lady's day pitcher
was put forward to cause the trouble
for the visitors, and after he had rub
bed the magic ring, which he wears for
rheumatic cure. he sailed into them,
throwing the ball to Mr.. Holmes, the
principal social favorite with marvel
Gus dexterity. In fact the travelling
band found it very difficult to knock the
ball where some of the Mullets were
not.
Four Fast Double Plays.
All eighteen of the athletes partici-
pating in the cast seemed to be i'm
bued with the same thought. and were
busy most of the time. 1t was pleas
ant to watch the young men coming
in and going out between acts.
Kind O keeps a fellow in practice
for the theatrical season. There was
more than the usual haste in this one
particular, although some one ridiculed
the idea that there was something in
the half barrels at the players bench.
The young men were not content to
put each other out in singular num-
bers but in several instances, as many
as four, two We're ordered back to
the bench at the same time These
double plays were all spectacular and
were calculated to arouse us to the
same degree of fiabergasterdy that
caused us to leave the umbrellas.

family A friend of Mr.. D. Mullaney
sent a special delivery postal card to
Mstuh ]. Mackay early yesterday
morning. and the umbrella was saved
from the pound. If anything was left
in the grand stand last night it will not
be reported in this issue, as we did not
see Mistuh Mackay after the game.
Mr.. H. Holmes. that giddy human
butterfly, got stung on the cotillion
leading leg with foul tip. He limped
but little, yet the social world fears
the worst. Water of the knee pan may
result.
The social favorite got two nice safe

Two Runs before This.
But we already had two wrapped
up and slowed away in the bag when
this precautionary extra run was
weighed in. Mr.. Strouthers put for
small breadth. Lucas was a little
wild.
In his wildness, MIR. Lucas let
Thatcher escape to first. Savidge did
the martyr act. Burt skied out to
Jack Spratt and Thatcher reached the
goal on Wee Willie's safety. Spratt
threw Yancy's drive to third high and
Oyler scored, Mullaney retiring the
side by fouling out to Roth.
These two runs were warmly receiv-
ed by the ladies and gents present, for
one had already been tailed by the
tourists In the second inning After
that they were easily banked
Paddy O'Brien was not on the field,
having been served with pink slip
shortly after breakfast. These slips
have not all been exhausted vet
Thatcher played second with much
credit, and is decidedly the best hit

tried.
