There was fun plenty at the games
between Buffalo and Providence yester-
day. but It did not emanate from fast
playing. II was simply the result Of the
might before" for the visitors and tho
jihes and taunts from the crowd OF
bleacherites.
The story OF the happenings OF the
night before had circulated all through
the city yesterday and the crowd seemed
TO have gone prepared 10 get In it's work
and to get fun out OF the players person
ally even though there was none coming
from the game. Consequently at every
play and when any one OF the Bisons
neared the bleacher fences there were
remarks OF an appropriate nature made
and laughter galore.
As 10 the games themselves. the first
one was nothing more than a burlesque
with the Bisonites as the stars OF the
play. Now they would see the ball and
then they wouldn't when they were In
the field and as for "Rube' kissinger

not he certainly got all that was due

first inning OF the first contest
The way the locals went after him was
shame and even Billy Mlllgsn was
treated 10 some rough work when he
went in 10 relieve him II was thought
that the first spasm would never end and
the procession OF the Grays around the
corners Sometimes the crowd pleaded
with the Dannites to give the other side
chance and end the side but they still
romped around the bases like a lot OF
school boys playing zone chase"
