LOCAL PRINTERS BEATEN
WINDY CITY BOYS PUT KIBOSH
ON HOME PLAYERS.

The base ball teams Of Typographical
Union No Is of Chicago and No. 1O1
of this city battled for supremacy yester-
day afternoon at American League Park
before about 1000 spectators. and the local
boys were trimmed by a score of IL to l.
And that lonesome tally was made when
Sandquist, the Windy city shortstop.
threw the ball high over the giant first
baseman's head into the bleachers in an
effort to retire Pitcher Weaver of the
locals on what should have been an easy
out.
To make long story short, Pitcher
Pierce or the Chicago aggregation was
about the whole thing, and all the Wash
ington boys could do was to land on him
safely three times The way he put them
over was enough to take the starch out
of any set of ball players 1t looked for
all the world like Big Ed Walsh was
steaming EN- over, and one could almost
imagine the premier White SoX pitcher
was on the slab for the visitors And
that man kading on first base-siX feet
six in his stocking feet-played game
that would put Jiggs Donohue 10 shame
Becker, the hardy catcher, was sure on
the job all the time. playing like a real
White SoX. Shade of Billy Sullivan, sit
up and take notice. At least. that is
the way it looked to folks who wanted
the Washington boys TO win
1t was $50 o'clock when Public Printer
Leech pitched out brand new ball to
Umpire limbaugh The head printer OF
the United States throwing the ball upon
the diamond for the contest to begin was
indeed enough 10 make the members of
both unions come to attention and start
the contest off in good style.
The ChicagoS went to the bat at the
start, and. after getting couple Of bin
giles. man was sent across the rubber.
When Pierce began to sail them over in
the last half of the first the big delesa-
ton that came from Chicago to cheer
their team to victory just lay back
and seemed to say: The card is out
The sleeve is empty. You fellows are
going to get yours
Washington rooters didn't do thing but
roar. The team went out in one, two
three order, and it was time to get up
some enthusiasm, even though the game
was young, for old base ball folk could
plainly see that Pierce had all kinds of
steam and he was using it to good ad-
vantage.
Chicago was BANKED in its half of the
second, and when Pitcher Weaver hit to
short Sandquist sent the sphere sailing
high over kadings head into the bleach
ers. Well The local man trotted home
to all kinds of cheering.
Washington folk felt good. and then the
contest developed into what was pitch
ers' battle. Weaver was sailing 'em over,
too, in great style. and surely Pierce
did not have it on him to the least extent
Then came that fatal sixth inning.
Seemingly the Chcagos had their lamps
trimmed when they came in from the
field. And the way the bingleS did come,
and the way that Chicago crowd did root.
1t was such a batting fest that even
Washington enthusiasts grinned and then
dubbed over with laughter and good
feeling. Five runs was the result. The
next inning Melted the visitors three and
the next two. All the time Washington
was going to the bat and being retired
in one. two, three order. as stated, with
the exception of three hits in the last two
innings
close the Washington men congratulated
the visitors upon the high-class article of
bail they put up. The score:
