With the grass and sod of the outf

With the grass and sod OF the outneiu
trampled by the sensational turns of
the Wallace circus perforipers, with the
air permeated with the breath-stopplns
feats, and air raising stunts of the day,
before the outfielders OF the Grays
caught the contagion yesterday, and
performed a series of thrillers that
went off with the crack of the bat and
finished with d mighty noise from the
grand stand Aside from these turns III
the outfield, the game was wlthout
special feature unless it be the Iniscues
Of the visitors, the fastness of the play,
and the base running or Mackey ana
williams which contributated maierial-
ly in giving the Grays two unearnea
runs, and swinging to l victory 10
the camp Of the home club. Record
breaking time was made. for the same
consumed but lib.
John Hurst was designated by War
ner to perform in the center ring, and
In Yesterdays game he reminded one
more of Isl" than any Of the others so
far. The longer he pitched the better
he got. and 1t was only during one
times have the visitors stitched I'D
hemmed and turned under. Weich' an
other new one of Burlington's opposed
him, and had he been backed up a1ter
the fashion of the Grays he would have
palled out game, but as II was NJ
critical times his intield overstepped
the mark and did not make good.
Burlington knocked the cover off the
third round by hitting out three SIN
giles, and scoring the only run. and
earned one, that they were able 10
hand up After that not one OF them
passed the first corner.
Getting away to this handicap In the
fourth. after Williams had gone out
via the sky, Mackey hit to Corbett,
who juggled Just long enough to al
low the short stop to cross flrst.f he
went down, and In the attempt to
catch him the sphere eluded TroW-
baughs hands and went astray. Be-
fore 1t could be chased back Mackey
was on third. House went out, and
Brusgernan hit one so hot to Corbett
that it got by him into the outfield, and
while it bounded away Mackey scored.
Again in the eight after Gleason had
been thrown out at first, Williams caiI
of his left leg stopped q pitched ball,
and he walked. AT this period the
base running and good Judgment OF
DR. Clyde showed UP brilliantly. He
stole second, and altho MackeT flew
out to shallow center, Williams took
the chance and stole third on the
THROWN, which went trifie wild.
House pasted a sizZler on the ground
to Corbett. who again played pity
pat, and on the throw slammed the
ball so hard at Stovall that the first
baseman could not hold 1t. In the do
ing of this Williams crossed over the
plate.
1t was in the sixth that the first
hippodrome performance on the Gray's
side was pulled off, and was brought
about by Mr.. John Taylor. who covers
that section of land lying back of
second and this side OF the old monu-
ment. Moore, last up in that turn,
smote the ball on the nose and with
ring of the bat, the little sphere sped
on. on, on, out and up over center field,
swinging to the north as the wind
caught Ii. With his back to the crowd
the Indian sped, face turned skyward.
AS the sphere began to drop, the In
dian drew near, anu Stlil nearer, anu
with hands outstretched before him, it
passed over his shoulder. and the
crowd holding it's breath, saw 1t nestle
In his black NIT. Then the long yell
Less sensational, but more difficult OF
performance, was the catch OF Glee-
sons in the same inning. 1t was RIP
ley who hit the drive between first and
second, and just low enough, so that
Gleason running forward at top speed
was but able to pick 1t off at the
ground. while his gloyed fingers tipped
the grass tops. In leaning SO far over
he fell but chung to the BALL Gleeson
responded to the encore in the sew
enth by repeating the trick, altho less
difficult, and pulled down in the ninth
hard one that blanked the visitors
in that inning and closed the game.
