when he found it would only give him one turn at bat.
 After adjusting these differehces, the game went on and to make up for lost time the fat men still kept the inning after three men were out and scored twice in the extra allowance. Holding the bat till five were out. To balance this, the thin men retired in their half of the next inning when only one man was out. It was mutn- ally agreed that this would even things out, as only six outs are allowed for both sides in one inning, and since the fat men had claimed five outs, of course the thin ones could have but one. This decision gave perfect sat- isfaction to all concerned. Pat Sweeney was so ticlkled over having put a man out in the early part of the game by concealing the ball under his arm, and it was only when Chief Taylor cautioned him. and threat ened him. that he agreed to return the ball to tEe pitcher. His idea seemed in play. for ball is ball and one extra one would save unnecessary la bor.
 such tremendous speed and the fat men were so vainly reaching at his wide opes--they were wide, sometimes the catcher could not run far enough to get them-that 1t was decided to take him out Another pitcher was substituted, but he did not know much about the game, seemingly. for he threw the ball over the piate where It could be hit. This was disastrous. for the fat men fel1 upon it and snote it lust fly.
 The features of the game were Full wiler.s absolute scorn of grounders he Saul in center also caused much in- terest by his alert ducklng or all balls that came bounding his way. Saul hates a bounder, evidently inheriting 1t from his namesake. the erstwhile King of Tarsus, for every time a bounder came he would lie down quiet ly and patiently wait till 1t had passed. tfme, and his kicks on the umpire's decisions were remarked on by many. He would throw his init one way. the little hands on his hips. his dainty feet wida-apart, his legs straight and a flush covering his pensive little face. and so he would stand until he being threatened with a heavy fine.
 Pierce Was . Star.
 Pierce was easily the star of the game: To begin with he looked like heavy handicap to the other team. Therein was he supreme.
 Now this part of the story is un- yogGhed for, 1t being purely hsarsay park. with bated breath, that Randolph in throwing to first had thrown curve. It may be true: of course, but there is only the testimony of those who saw 1t to verify with. and there the subject had best be dropped.
 Wilkerson has set new record in pacing to first, his terrific speed in taking the ninety feet was the won-- der of all. Once he struck out. the ball passed the catche1 and he was thrown out by the third sacker from the grand stand before he Ihached the first stop ping place. It Nas going some.
 Umpire vandiver gave perfect satis- faction. His decisions were always given after the crowd had expressed annoyance was avoided. Of course there were times when two or three were gathered together in his dear vicinity that made him consider. but | with the spirit of the game. Since only a. benign Providence as has been said. could give an official score of the game. the lineup alone Is participants to fill in what they think is coming to them, that they may show 1t to their grandchildren and gloat over their handiwork. headwork and footwork. in the seciusion of their libraries, on dull daSk evenings when the fire burns brightly and they are too old to do anything but tell those wonderful stories of the past as grand fathers. since time immemorial, have had decided penchant for doing.
