sway I'm the game of Monday " was
pitcher that loomed up most toweringly
yesterday. Bender the indian boNmhn'
smiling and good ma tured and Yet reso-
lutte was at all times swarthy obstacle
in the pathwav of the New Norks. Nc
tiinnitv. who pitched for the New Norks,
proved himself a not unworthy rNaf or
the dark skinned finger from the Key
stone commonwealth, and while New
York made no runs, not Ihiauelphli
run was made that was not the result
OF hard work. and the closest attention
10 the work AT hand. McGnnity, indeed
would have had as clean a slate as Ben
der TO his record had there not been costly
errors behind him. These errors were ie"

age they inflicted was as destructive as
Mercutos wound.
Again did these two premier teams
conducted along lines that deviate not
n hairs breadth from the stand pre-
scribed by genuine sportsmanship. DC
cisions were they adverse or the re
verse. we're accepted without murmur
with looks In which the strongest emo
tion therein conveyed was only mild re-
proach No fault was found by the play
ers with the work OF MessrS. - Day ana
Sheridan and there was no occasion 10
find fault The officials PLAYED their
parts well This time ODay went behind
the bat and Sheridan TO the bases. Their
work was as spick and span as . DAY

was that il permitted the people to pass

without any gorging or crush.
The volatile and portly, Yet nlmpie,

the stocky and quiet Lord were the ooyS
whose stick work made runs Tor the VIZ
