L LAWMAKERS DROP
THE SECOND GAME

In spite of the fact that the Law
makers went down yesterday before
the Buffalo club by the score Of 10 to
4, the game they put UP was many
times superior to their playing on
Monday. The score stood to 4 until
the ninth, when bountful supply of
hits and errors gave the visitors four
more scores.
Tie locals fielded we'll, and for the
most part the errors We're excusablc.
Buffalo won with heavy stick work.
The assertion that the Lawmakers put
up good game was testified to by
the fact that the fans We're support
ing their team at all times with lots of
encouragement showing warmer inter
est than al any previous game. About
1000 persons We're in attendance.
The locals started out we'll. pulling
off double the first time that Buff
falo went TO bat. Kanzler continued
TO play a good all around game, out
of three times at Int getting two hits
and two runs. Little Mattress was
strong in walking to first. and the
score will show that out of two times
at bat he scored three times. Both
lie and Captain Smith showed up well
at short and second. For the Law
makers Ison played fine fielding
game he hacked UP every man within
reach and was responsible for good
number of outs and assists.
To-day the Lawmakers face the
Princeton team. and as the colIegians
have fast continuation the .;ane
should be an interesting one. Jackson
will twirl first for Richmond.
Mattress went to bat first for the
Bisons and touched up Howard for "
three sacker. White hitc behind short
and Morgan, Lipe and Heffron went af-
ter it. and in the confusion Morgan drop
ped the ball scoring Mattress. Smith
singled to left and Murray sacrificed

and second. With one out Schirm sent
a grounder to 1son. who threw him
out at first. while Konzlcr doubled or

When the Lawmakers came up lTef-

pick an eleven from Ban Iohnson's or

with tho best OF them. Hack Spencer
the husky catcher of the ST. Louis
Browns. is former Bucknell College
bog, and would fit in nicely at centre.
Jake Stahl. of the New Yorks. who used
to star at the University of Illinois,
and Arthur Brown. of the st. Louis
team would make fine pair OF tackles.
Brown used to play the game at
bloomsbury Normal. Carrigan, of Bos-
ton. a former Holy Cross student. ana
Nichols. of the Athletics. who played
on a Southern college team. would be
"a star pair of ends. In the backheld'
Davidson. of Cleveland. would shine a
quarter. while Birmingham also OF the

catcher of Georgetown. would iooh
after the halfbacks. Brownie Gessler'
of Washington and Jefferson Coliese'
who is slated TO play the outheid ior
Boston. would make a great fuilpach'
Rube waddcll isn't much of a college,
