! -
many teams experience whom playing
| against big leaguers-lost the game
played Monday to the Sockets of Mr..
Comiskey. It was the most splendid
exhibition witnessed here since the OPP
ening of the exhibition season and the
| first to be annexed by the visiting play
ers. Score to l.
Failure to Sherlock Holmes the gaily
flung benders of Mr.. Olmstead, late
! Of the Western Association. is given as
the cause. The locals did all that
angels could do but this wasn't enough
to win a ball game.
The visitors put y bingles in brine.
Five of the said II came in the closing
stage of the exh bition. These resulted
in enough. kaufman held the visitors
to four safe ones in five innings and
until the closing round '.Wrasty''
Wright bid fair to emulate his predeces-
sor.
Chicago shows well the training trip
and its good results. The men are
working hard. They all seem to be in
this is the first time we have had II
chance to look at the regulars on the
SoXey team. Usually they send IL
bunch of tryouts here and the tryouts
oeat us something like p to 0. The
regulars are not nearly so frightened,
however, as the training trip draws to
a close and the result is we are beaten
harder by recruits and tryouts than the
real thing.
1t remained for srnoothfaced. easy
of-motion pitcher to hang that sign
upon us. We started we'll. After Miller
lost himself between Collins and Can
dill Reilly jolted one deep into right.
They only make one on that kind
against the leaguerS, however, and
Reilly waited at the beginning of the
trip around until Thomson eased one

in the same direction. Reilly stopped
on third. Thomson was thrown out az
second on a fielder's choice which PEN
rell rode to first. Kunkle sailed in to
Parent.
There was no more chance until the
last chapter. Thomson hit a single
that both Olmstead and Collins could
not stop. This was in the fourth. Again
in the fifth Abbott gent one towards
second that makes the gait of an auto
being Joy ridden look like a dime be-
side a bank safe. Neither Of these eff
forts counted.
In the ninth there was rally and
it at last resulted in ore of the Cooley
sox discovering home plate. Blackburn
and Gandil ruined Reilly's chances.
Thomson jolted another hit out OF
himself, the third fer the afternoon.
Pennell, " hose ankle makes it irnpos
sible for him to run, drew four of the
worst ones OlJpstead threw, Thomson
moving up. Kunkle hit at the wrong
ball three times and Abbott knocked
in run with one which ruptured the
air like u Calling gun. Tommy tapped
the gas pocket and for brief interval
our light burned brightly. Kahi couldn't
get one by the pitcher and the crowd
quit thinking about it.
The first to cheer Mr.. Duffy's heart
came in the seventh. Block drew a base
on balls but Olmstead met an untime
ly fate. 5arroTs Bleriotsd to Reilly
Collins cracked one to right end Block
blew tho rest of the way round.
The visitors nailed two singles to the
mast in the eighth put had no luck that
inning. In the ninth. however. there
were fearful doings. Olnastead, the de-
spised one who made Butch Kerns look
like u pitcher al bat, singled. Barrows
skied 20 Miller. Then Collins hit over
second and Olnlstead moved up. Fol-
lowing this Mr.. Parent hit one to right.
PenneIl who moves with more or less
elaboration because of his bad ankle,
felded the ball slowly. Collins and
O1mstead cashed in. Parent was thrown
out at second trying to gain one on the
throw in. Then Gandil grunted and the
ball was out of reach. With malicious
intent he took the middle bag. Black
burn knocked almost everything out of
the ball and Gandil made his mark on
the rock. Purtell hit a long one to
right which PenneI cared for in the
