WHITING GREYS DEFEATEDg
BRADING FOUND FOR IL HITS,
whiting Long Green In Evidence at
beginning of Game Soon Tucked
Away-DonOhue I'm Fine Form.

fans came over to the Hubbard ball
grounds yesterday with enough pent-
up enthusiasm to win a dozen ordinary
games and enough of the long green
to buy the ball park. They were offer
ing the money John D. had paid them
for their weeks work at any odds OBJ
tainable. The tin horn brigade did
the yelling and the 'wad holders"
backed them up. Apparently it was
case of Il saw, l came, 1 conquered
from the very start
1t was a shame that the Hammond
boys did not let them enjoy themselves
for ut least four of the nine innings
1t would have been the generous act
of a host. Instead, they jollied them
along for two short innings, over
whelmed them in the third, when they
scooped up three runs and finally mer
cilessly rubbed it in in the fifth when
the fourth and last run trickled over
the plate.
The tin horn brigade disappeared.
"the tumult and the shouting died"
and the Whiting crowd was so quiet
that you could hear the crushing of
the crisp bills as they were stuffed
deep in to the pockets from which
they were so suddenly brought to light.
From that time until the score boy
chalked up a big with a goose egg
under it you wouldn't have known
that there was whiting man in the
crowd if it had not been for the smell
of crude oil that filled the air.
Brading, the man whose name has
been called from the house tops, the
pitcher who couldn't find a catcher to
hold him, had his choicest Blenders
batted over the field in way that will
hold him" for long time. Twelve
hits was the total number that was
secured from his delivery. every man
on the team getting at least one, with
the exception of Enright and Fowler.
| Even Fowler might have fattened his
batting average at Bradings expense
| If it had not been for his $500 bet
with friend of his that he would get
at least one bingle. This wager prov
ed to be his Jonah"
Donohue pitched a splendid game
and as usual was one of the main
stays of the team. Only four hits were
secured from his delivery, he shut
out ten men to Bradings four and
then sampled one of Brading's hits
just to see what it tasted like
There were other men on the team
| VINO deserved laQrelS, however, anC
victory would not have been possible
without their good work Mcmahon
got three nice hits and played a star
/ position at second. First basemar
Barget accepted all of his chances and
seemed to fairly love the ball every
time he got hold of it. Gus never
lets them get by him and can bat some
too. Eder played a consistent game
behind the bat and caught Donohue's
cannon balls in professional form
Sheerers work with the stick and tn,

1t is due the Whiting team to sa,
that with the exception of their worl
in one or two innings when their field
ing was far from impregnable and tn,
slump their pitcher had. they have {
good team and are capable of playing
a fast game. They were certainly III
against it in the important item of lucl
and did not deserve as bad a drub
bing as they received.
The attendance was the largest thi
year aud indicates the wide spread in
terest in the series. It is estimate,
that there were at least eight hundre,
spectators on the field, nearly hal
of which were women.
