PENCIL PUSHERS DEFEATED.

Yesterday afternoon the United Asso-
ciation OF Pencil Pushers met the Barris-
ters' operative Hot Air league and in
cidentally met defeat from this aggrega-
ton In a random game Of baseball
Random is the word 10 depict the scenes
vividly. for the players wandered at ran
dom over the pasture lands and the balls
served up by the dealers IN curves stroied
at random anywhere within the regions
of the plate, while the lawyers seemed
to follow the round OF the bases after
the second inning in a reckless style.
There were a number OF grandstand
plays attempted. but none OF them
reached the finish except that Of PellSy
the girl in green and black and mixed
colors. Speaking about the costumes
there was every descrtbable importation
and some that couldn't bear the mention
ing. Where that motley array Of gor-
geous colors and mystic symbols came
from the wearers themselves could hard
ly tell.
Some OF them made blufr at being
the insignia of college teams but from
the experience gained in n number of in
stitutions there Is not a college in the
country that would own up 10 sending
out such an array OF sartorial abortions.
There were football togs that SEEM
days and jerseys that had been through
the mill of time with the experience OF
the garments OF Rip Van Wrinkle, and
out OF ali the array might be detected
every shade and color OF the rainbow
The only noticeable effect was the re-
stralnt placed upon Coppen by the loss
of his panama hat. He needed The brfm
of that To shade his eyes when chasing
the flies in centre field.
for 1an
inning the scorekeeper went off into the
land eeIireams and succumbed to faint
ing spell when the lawyers began to
chase each other around the bases. Darte,
the ono time boy wonder OF Pennsy. did
some stunts that have not been known
to baseballdom In the history OF the
game. Carroll and he tried 10 see with
how many OF the balls pitched they could
hit the bats I'm the hands OF the lawyers
with the result that when the umpire
called time 13 runs We're scored. There
was fun galore for all the spectators and
considering the fact that none os the
men had known each other I'm the cos
tunes worn the playing was remarkable.
The lineup was as follows:

INTERSCHOLASTlC LEAGUE.

The colors OF the Cranston High school
team were sent flying yesterday afternoon
when the team defeated East Providence
at Gorham's with the score standing at
20 l. The work of the pitchers was hard
and consistent, though Johnson proved
TO be a shade better than Salve.
These two are rated to he the best
pitchers in the league though Salve is
supposed to be a little the best. The lat
ter has struck out Just as many men,
however, and allowd fewer bases on balls
or hits. Yesterday both of them struck
out ten men each.
The support accorded these men was OF
a poor nature and was oausative OF the
score. The game was full of errors In
all departments except the box, though
several good plays were made.
Mathewson made a pretty catch by Sc
curing what looked like q hit by running
backward Griffith. IN middle field, made
a fine runIbng catch at a critical point
of the game. Perkins, at second. also con-
trfbuted to the features by leaping in tho
air and stopping a smashing liner from

throws. Evans being a particular offend

feat OF the season at the hands OF the
Pawtucket men yesterday at tho sabin
street grounds. IL was the best played
game that has been witnessed on those
grounds this season.
Both teams played erratic ball during
the first two innings but settled down
and gave the fans all they wanted 70 see
afterward. The umpirfng was one OF the
features OF the game.
Hope Street made it's runs on errors.
while the home team scored as the result
OF clean, well-placed and timely hits. Bliss
was on the slab for the visitors, and was
touched for ten hits. two OF them good
for two bases.
Pawtucket had put its hopes on Phin-
ney, ~Shd not I'm vain. He was touched for
six scattered hits. but one good for more
than one. lie struck out two and al
lowed one pass and hit Conlon. Phinney
was easily the better Of the two. and was
master OF the situation at critical times.
Both teams were out for the game, as
victory for Hope meant a clean record
OF IL straight wins, and TO be defeated
by Pawtucket In the final game OF the
season was a bitter pill. Attendance 500.
