Did you ever step from the intense
blackness of o stormy winter night
into room Hooded with myriads of
electric lights, the sudden shock of the
brilliancy Of the lights making your
eyes blink?

was at the ball grounds Yesterday. The

baseman made a magnificent effort but

and Robe dashing over the plate. Robe
was called out for interfering with
Manners, only one score counting and
the Pelicans unable to tie up the game.
IT was really base running that won
for the Pretzels Pabsts and Durret ,, :
