faults that women make In learning the

and their weakness. and can, therefore.
anticipate and overcome their difficulties.
Personally, ! am not great golf player.
but people tell me that l know how TO

Pat Donovan had no more idea of becom-
ing professional ball player than he had
OF becoming parachute jumper, as he was
q druggist In the town OF Lawrence. Mass.
and was in business for himself. He played
on the club located In his native city until
he was past manhood. and then one Sunday
came the turning point In his life.
There was to be great game at Law
rance that day between two rival clubs for
the championship OF the city. and Pat. who
was busy at his store, had no thought of
entering into the contest until some of his
former teammates came down TO his place
and entreated him to help them defeat the
other fellows. Pat, after hesitatins long
while. finally consented to take part In the
game, and by doing SO changed the whole
course of his after life. For In that mem
orable Sunday game at Lawrence Donovan
performed so many wonderful feats. both
In the batting and fielding line, that the
following week score OF managers were
oesieging him. and finally he listened TO
sional career, and thus was made a page
In base ball history.
The first time In his life that Al Spalding
the millionaire sporting goods man. who
pitcher. ever heard of the national pastime
was In 1858.
Then as a youngster Of thirteen he met
soldier at his home In Illinois who explained
to him how they played game called base
ball IN the army. Young Spalding became
deeply interested and had the soldier show
him all the points In this new game. Aft er
he had mastered these Spalding formed two
teams from among the boys In his neigh
borhood. and soon the entire community
was enraptured with the sport while Al
became crack pitcher.
Four years after his meeting with the
soldier. AL SpaIding then a seyenteen-year-
old lad. was clerking in a Chicago grocery.
and base ball had a tremendous hold. on
the citizens OF the windy city, and Sunday
games were feature. So. In company
with other lads of his own age Spalding
went out to the grounds one Sunday after
noon to see the two leading teams OF the
city play ball.
The pitcher on one of the contesting
clubs twisted his leg very early in the
game. and some one knowing Of Spalding' 8
proficiency. recommended the boy as being
q good pitcher.
He filed the bill to letter. holding down
the great sluggers with apparent ease All
Chicago spoke Of him next day as the
boy Wonder" and he was given a con-
tract to sign which called for $40 a week
which was big salary in those days. Ned
afterward. once told the writer that his
salary for years was but sic week, and
he thought that mighty liberal. too
Spalding remained in the game for many
years. and was the crackerjack box artist
Of his day. but had he not attended that
Sunday base ball game. away back in 1867,
he might have lived and died a poor. hard
worked and poorly paid clerk. instead of
being the millionaire that he Is today,
which only goes to show how chance cir
cumstances may alter the whole course Of
q mans career.

PLAYEDSINGLEW WICKET
PICKED TEAMS OF WASHINGTON
CRICKET CLUB MET.

The grounds Of the Washington Cricket
Club at Chevy Chase were the scene of
some good cricket playing yesterday after
noon between two picked teams Of the club
members. The game. which was single
wicket. began at 3 O'clock and on account
Of the good condition Of the wicket, which
could hardly have been keener some good
cricket was SEEN The teams were captain
ed by Messrs. r. w. ComIns and J. Roberts,
and at the close of the contest the team
captained by Mr. Roberts was the winner
by one inning and two runs
The victory was due to a great extent
to the excellent bowling of Mr. Roberts
coupled with the batting which he exhibited
in the first inning. when he made nine runs.
For the Comins team Mr.. Broadbridge with
his lightning shoots and all-around fast
bowling, seemed the life Of the team, and
with Mr.. Comins and Mr.. r. Roberts re-
tired the opposing team, but not until they
had made nineteen runs. or enough to win
the contest. as it was afterward shown.
The Comins team sent in Mr.. Comins to
bowl first. to be followed by Mr.. r. Rob-
erts, ard then relied upon Mr.. Broadbridgs
to dispose OF the heavy batsmen. And In
several instances he did not disappoint
them. for his bowling was most deceptive.
For the Roberts team Mr.. Lake did some
good bowling. particularly at the start.
when he retired Mr.. Comins with no runs
to his credit During the rest of the con-
test he alternated In the bowling with Mr..
Roberts and Mr.. Richard. In the second
inning Mr. Lake did especially we'll In bowl
ing. when he retired Mr.. Broadbridse, who
Ia an exceptionally heavy batter, with no
runs to his credit.
For the winning team the heaviest bat
tiers were Mr.. j. Roberts. who made nine
runs; Mr.. William NJ. Conrad, who made
four and Mr.. ]. B. Riokard, who made
three For the opposing team Mr. w. w
Warren had all the best of the batting, be-
ing the only one of the Co.nins team who
managed to land upon the bowling OF the
Roberts team bowlers. with the exception
of Mr. Broadbridge, who made four runs
The work Of the members present showed
that the love Of cricket Is on the increase
in the capital city and that before long
there will be many loyal fans Of the cricket
wicket in this section. All the members
of the club are most enthusiastic, and IL Is
believed that before many months have
passed that Washington will have a cricket
organization that will be able to compete
with the large cricket clubs OF Philadelphia
and other cities The score OF the contest
OF yesterday afternoon follows:

started good thing when he criticised the
appearance of some of the ball players on
on the ball field. There is nothing that
looks worse than a dirty uniform. One
would think the owners of the club, the
manager the captain would insist on the
attractive appearance of the players of a
club on the ball field, but as general rule
the men can wear what they choose, and
often the captain Is the dirtiest looking
