That SO many ladies' have be-
come interested in base ball and
regularly attend the games speaks
well for the manner in which the
great pastime is being conducted.
Naturally, when member of the
gentler sex becomes enamored
with the game she wants to know
all about the different plays, and
usually gets the desired knowl-
ledge by asking questions.
Often her ideas of the different
plays are vague and some of the
questions asked are certainly pos
Iers.
Red" Donahue, the ex-Detroit
twirler, makes his home at Phila-
ldelphia.
A few days after Red went
home, at the close Of the 1906
season, he met a fair maid who
was an ardent base ball enthusi-
asst. The conversation turned to
the national game, and as the
young lady was of an inquisitive
turn of mind, she began to ply
RED" with questions.
She seemed particularly inter-
ested In the box score of leach
days game. This was an enig-
ma to her, and one of her first
questions was: "What does Alb.
r. H. Pc. A. and e. stand for?"
The twirler explained what the
initials meant. The girl volun-
teered the information that she
was under the impression that
when player had two or three
marked in the e. serrory column,
ne had not played very good
game.
Donahue told her she was not
far from wrong, as he never saw
any player carried off the field on
the shoulders OF the crowd for
making errors.
Sometimes have noticed

the box score says someone stole
