is safe to say that never before did a
ball team play as one man. as did
our braves yesterday afternoon before
the thousands of fans who witnessed
the contest. and for this reason 1t is
particularly difficult to pick one man
az the star OF a rafting good game.

Kirk" Busy Boy.
About Kirkpatrick but little can he
said, but that little counts a great
deal in the game. Kirk was certainly
the willing worker when 1t came to
going after the leather. He covered
as much ground in a minute rs the
fast mail does in an hour, and despite
the long chances he took on both his
assists. came out with clean sheet in
that line. and he has two putouts and n
hit to boot. Ills work throughout the
game was commendable not so much
for any brilliancy of play as for his
unlimited willingness to work. and
that's what counts.

his noteworthy victory, it is but fair
