always sent forth hard hitters and early runners, but team that fell down mis- erably in d-season.-ArlSansas Gazette.
 Fire damp that had been accommodating in the breast of Jimmie Ryan, manager of the Senators, for 23 years exploded Sat urday afternoon during the game with Atlanta and his reputation for peace fulness skiddooed in less than three sec onds. Thus a record that the Montgom- cry manager had been nursing for so long a period took wings and left this vale of tears before the onslaught of mps Pfenninger. It was the polting of the diminutive judge of play that caused Ryan to be elected from the scene of action and to see half the game seated on the end of the players bench while he nursed his wrath and picked at the spikes on the soles of his shoes.-Atlanta Jorunal.
 Ryan seems to be making a name for himself in the two cities in which the team has played. The papers speak we'll of him. It is said he made his players stop chewing the rag with the umpire and the fans cheered Montgomery Journal.
 Contemporaneous with the publication of the above, O Horace, Ryan was forced to leave the Atlanta park.

Wilhelm s G7eat Work
 Wins BY00klyn s HeaYt

Our boys were robbed of Wednesdays game as most everybody knows by this time, but retribution came thick and fast for those pesky Giants yesterday. It was retribution in the form of Little Eva Wilhelm. the spitball merchant from the south. The successor and prototype of Elmer Stricklett looked like a Nemesis to the McGrawites and it was only through the luck of the New Yorks that they escaped nice coat of whitewash.
 '"The Brooklyns outplayed the Harlem band just as they did the day before, but this time the crowd wasn't there to rush to the aid of Muggy's chesty cohorts. They were forced to play on their merits and despite the strenuous roofing of Louis Mann, defeat was handed out to them in proper style.
 ''The victory was not won without q few attacks of heart disease, however Those Giants die hard and they are going to make a lot of ball teams go the limit before the season is over. Most of the time the Superbas led by a margin of one run and that lead was made to look l exceedingly small while it lasted.
 WilheIm's Great Inning.
 This was particularly true of the sev- enth inning, when Wilhelm pulled him. self out of as tight a hole as any pitcher
 ever found himself. Little Eva twirled a brilliant game all the way, but this
 was the turning point in the contest. Hits 1 by Devin and Nicklin and pass to Brid- well filled the bases with nobody out, a i situation that made the New York root

 1 Cash in!' was the slogan heard on
 all sides and the few Brooklyn fans who ! had had the temerity to back the Dono-
 vanites got ready to hand over the coin. 1 Even Billy Bergen seemed to be inclined | to give up. He walked over to the Su- i perba bench and asked Manager Pat ie I it wasn't time to swap pitchers. Let him go the route, replied Don l ovan. It was certainly good dope. Will
 helm went the route and it proved a path strewn with roses and for-get-me- 1 nots. Merlde pushed a grounder down ! to Alperman, who threw Devin out at
 the plate.
 | Tt was a distinct shock to the Coogan
 Hollowites, for Merkle had been there | with the pinch hits on two previous oc-
 casions. But Shannon was yet to come and Spike was expected to do direful l things. He dld-for New York. His
 puny wallop went straight to Wilhelm,
 who tossed Nicklin out at the plate. Ber- 1 gen turned quick as a flash and threw | to Jordan, doubling up shannon. Had the incident happened here at ! Washington Park. Wilhelm would have
 been the golden-haired boy of the uni verse. Down south, his reward would
 have been a shower of coin. On the Polo ! Grounds he was applauded quite gener- | ously-they recognize merit in a good | pitcher occasionally over there True. | most of the adulation came from the few | Brooklyn rooters, but there were others. ?
