! Gentlemen invite their auutS and cou-
SINS To gather at Mr.. j. D. Crar>'s ball
DARK and see them show our sweet and
juicy bunch Of Pippins how to play the
natl ional game. The da, being fine the
invitation was accepted and large audi
ence gathered as per invitation and ex.
pectatiUn. Bnt the L. G.'s forgot to
inscribe on their cards that there were
two sides to every game, and they cei.
tainly did overlook the fact that Brod-
hurst. Sullivan, Fink, etc., would per-
form deeds liable to cause heart failure
amongst the SAID relatives of the Z. G.'s.
and that at the end of the game the L.
G.'s would be lover down the ladder of
lame.
The game was good one. full of quick
plays and sometimes brilliant fielding by
both sides. Aberdeen went to bat first,
and Hopkins, who is only boy, struck
out two men and threw the third out at
first. This seemed to inspire the r. G.'s
with the idea that they could not lose.
and they got real chesty, but when the
Pippins took the field it WAS discovered
that u, Brien had a stone wall behind
him. Brodhurst and Fink making what
seemed to be impossible flies; sullivan
and Harper getting everything coming
their way; O'Brien allowed but four
hits; Whalen PLAYED perfect bali behind
the bat; Bum played erroress bail;
Brown made IA quick throw in the last
inning that went little wild, and
Swartz let thrown ball get away, but
no harm was done, as no scores were
made.
Those who saw the game cay it was
the best of the season, and those who
did not see it certainly missed first
class game. Captain Graham, Of the T..
G.'s, did not disappoint his friends, fel-
low citizens and admirers bv bad play
ing, but increased their love for him by
poking the ball over the fence for home
run.
SUNDAYS CINE.
So proud was our Mr.. Brown OF his
basket OF Pippins after their victory over
the T. CPS Saturday. that he bought
each one nice new red cap with white
letter ON it, and new white stockings
with red stripe around the legs. This
present tickled the boys so that they
started in to pie ,se Mr.. Brown aud show
their appreciation of his Kindness by
trying to win from the L. G.'s again |
Sunday.
Well. the z. g. put Mr.. Gillespie,
celebrated slab artist from California, in |
the lime light. Mr.. Gillespie is very |
nice looking young man, poses grace.
fully on the slab, HAS legs like piano,
but seems to be Overstocked with con-
ceit. Well, he got his bumps and lost
some OF his conceit, for the Pippns made
ten safe hits, distributed them 30 judi.
ciously that they gathered in sixteen
runs. And. j,s; to show Mr.. Gillespie
that they likei his style and played no
favortes, every Pippin in the game
crossed the plate aud dumped his con-
tribution in the box. Whalen got three
and so did Cook Swartz, Brodhurst and
Sullivan each got two, Brown, Bum,
Harper and Fink each contributed one.
-Four OF these runs were made in the
third inning, two in the fifth, one in the
sixth, one IN the seventh and-whisper
it-eight in the eighth. Now, don't
think for moment all of these runs
were earned, because they were not the
p. G.'s helped things along by making a
good many errors, not because they can't
play good ball, but perhaps, because
they liked the experience they had at
Olympia last week, where they made
two balloon ascensions, and wanted to
feel the thrill and keen delight of taking
another trip.
III you happen to see smooth faced
youth wearing broad grin when this
particular game is mentioned, that's Mr..
Cook. He was the bright, rosy.cheeked
Pippin around which the other Pippins
when in the field. He was in
the box for Aberdeen and allowed but
eight hits. which, however, meant five
runs. The L. G.'s scored in the first
inning and then laid off until the fifth.
when they got one more. In this inning
rhorberg failed to dodge fast one and
was put out OF the game. Girard taking
his place at center field. In the seventh
the u. G.'s got three and that was the
end of the run getting for them.
Both teams hit the ball hard and the
game was full of interest for the large
crowd.
Aberdeen is now in third place, and
after next week, with anything like good
luck ought to be in second place. If We
win from the Senators and the Farmers
lose to the p. G.'s, we will be in the
swim. But-there's many slip in
base ball game, and we won't even guess
on the result OF the next games.
