Two Hours Each.

AS in the morning game. there was
nothing particularly spectacular in the
way Of fielding. both contests being long
drawn-out affairs that required more
than two hours each.
The morning game was marred by the
constant coaching Of Kid Elberfeld. the
visiting manager. who is under suspen-
sion.
Some time ago Ban Johnson notified the
managers and umpires that whenever
manager is suspended he shall not be al
lowed to lead HIS team or remain in the
stand where he can be OF assistance to
his men. Despite this order. Elberfeld
was in the box next 10 the Highlanders
bench. and was shouting TO the players
in every inning. He gave orders when
the pitchers were TO be changed and be-
came such a nuisance that Cantillon f.
nally protested. The umpires refused 70
interfere, and the result was that Elber-
field continued his tactics throughout the
morning
Between the games, however, there was
a heated argument. and when the teams
came out In the afternoon Eiberfeld was
banished from the stand and sent 10 the
clubhouse. He lurked an outcast on the
porch until one Of the visitors was in
jured. when he attempted TO come onto
the field. but was waved back by Tim
Hurst
The Nationals presented the Yankees
with a run in the first inning in the
afternoon. Altizer booted an easy chance
by Hemphill, and when Keeler attempted
10 sacrifice. Shipke made a bad throw.
The two runners moved along on Mo-
riaritys sacrifice and Hemphill crossed
the plate on Balls out.

ODE TO AUTUMN.

Season Of mists and mellow fruitful
ness!
Close bosom friend Of the maturing
sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and
bless
With fruit the vines that round the
thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the messed cot
tage trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to
the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the
hazel shells
With sweet kernel: to SET budding
more,
And still more, later flowers for the
bees,
Until they think warm days will nev-
er cease,
For summer has Ger brimmed their
clammy cells.
Where are the songs of spring? Ay,
where are they?
Think not Of them, thou hast thy
music. TOO,
While barred clouds bloom the soft
dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with
rosy hue:
Then in a waiful choir the small
gnats mourn
Among the river shadows. borne
aloft
Or sinking as the light wind
lives or dies.
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from
hilly bourn:
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with
treble soft
The red breast whistles from a gar
den croft,
And gathering swallows twlt+er
in .he skies.
john Keats.
