pasture, when McAleer's braves drove
two opposing twirlers off the mound and
won in a gallop. TO Z.
The contest was one OF delight to
fans, brimful Of heavy and timely hit
ting and spectacular fielding stunts New
York made the home crowd uneasy by
rufling up Walkers twisters for n quar-

showing enough men on the sacks &c

been able to knock the ball over
Schafers dome instead OF into the Teu-
toms bread hooks.
