Ensy, said Republicans.
That was letting US down pretty easy,
thought the Republicans when they went
up 70 the bat. So easy was II that Mr..

10 play ball with Mr. Justice Brown. Of

drive and stumbled down TO first before
the ball was helded. Mr.. Rowland then
I got a single. and was advanced TO second

but seemed unable 10 remember how he
used TO do It out in Cincinnati. and his
side went out
/ In the second inning the Democrats
were overjoyed at the prospects Of their

| termined TO add to the things they had
already done. They did Il. too. and for
a time il was thought Representative

It was then the Democrats seemed 10
go Wild. Everybody seemed % want 20
take il out on that ball, and when the
players left the field the boy marked up
ten runs.
The Republicans were out OF heart AT

possible
The Democrats made only two runs
in the third inning and held their

do. the Republicans came back with

This tied :he score. and II looked just
like one OF the old fights on the rules
and all of for the Democrats and insur-
gents. but the members Of the minority
mustered strength, and IN the next in
ming were credited with five scores Some
Of the spectators declared they made
more, but that was enough, and as the
Republicans were held down 70 one, there
WAS no riot
In the last inning the Democrats just
made scores for the fun Of it. and when
they had got eight men across the plate
they allowed their third runner to be put
out just so they could so in the field and
show the Republicans that runs could be
stopped. In this half the Republicans
made two, and ended what the sun had
caused to be one Of the most agOnizing
and joint-stiffening contest in which the
two parties ever engaged. Only seven
| innings had been played according 10
| technical baseball. but all the players
! agreed Il was q dOuble-header.
In the box for the Democrats was Rep
lreseLtative Webb Of North Carolina, and
/ Representative Gaines. OF West Virginia,
did the twirling for the Republicans. Both
held out well. and. considering the long
time II has been since they starred on
their respective home teams. they did re-
markable work.
