NOTES OF THE GAME.

il Is possible that we are color blind. !
but but those Browns certainly looked /
uwfully blue to US after the game.
That homer Of Hon. Kid Elberfeld /
brought forth three runs, and also brought /
forth strenuous objections from OConnor. !
Schweltzer. and Abstein. Overruled,
That was an odd smash. After the con- !
dimeutal Kid had cracked the ball il I
spun so rapidly that it fooHshly got out .
Of its orbit. ike some seIf-respecting but 4
misguided comets we know OF. and curv- /.
ing toward the right field bleachers the !
sphere, being thoroughly ashamed Of its I
conduct hid itself under the seats. while 1
Elberfeld ambled home.
Il was then that Schweitze-. with all his /
Teutonic dignity. and forgetting that he T.
was uaturalized. exclaimed TO Connolly .
"Dommeri Herr umpire, das ball vas
kicked unter das stand by das nacht- /
METER Connolly and Diaeen. In excel.
lent Esperanto. both quoth Nay"
It was an odd sacrifice hit that Milan
made In the third With Johnson on first. ,
he tried to sidestep an outcurve OF era
hams The bah hit his bat as he fell
down. and johnson scampered 10 the sec
Ond bag Had the speedy little center
| fielder not fallen, it is possible that he
might have reached first, as Har,zeN was
slow in retrieving the ball
Another strange sacrifice was Lelivelrs
/ strikeout in the seventh, on which Milan
went 10 bag two.
There must have been an aperture IN
/ Schweitzer's bat in the fourth. when he
swung al three straight ones that Walter
Johnson pitched 10 him, and there must
have been apertures in his hands when.
/ in the fourth. he let Milans fly 20
through his dig.ts. But still all good
sweitzer is noted for holes
Hartzell not only made good with the
/ bat, but showed head work when run
/ ming bases. When he ran for third. after
/ El5erfeld had felded Wallace's swift
/ drive he stopped short. preventing the
| Kid from making a double play It was
/ excusable for him 10 try 20 make third
/ on a hit Ike that. but, although he got
4 out, he prevented further disaster Jy
! postponing his own demise for two sec
/ onds
| Schaefer declares that the reason Red" /
| Kinifer doesn't like to play in left field
/ IS because he's afraid that big painted
bull out there on the sign board will get
/ a glimpse OF his hair.
/ Manager O'Connor has a voice like a
! defective carburetter.
] Wish they would get some nonshrinka-
! bic ice for the cooler up in the press box.
About the fourth inning. when the con-
/ gealed substance had fed. Scribe Tommy
/ Rice laconically remarked. There are
! some things that are not what they are
| cracked up 10 be"
Fartzell made a hit in the second along
the right field foul line that Bob Unglaub
could not reach. and Wallace. who fol-
lowed made a hit in the same place. but
Robert the lion-hearted was there with
put-oUt.
We've been warned by poets not TO
write our names upon the sand but
! Pitcher Graham writes his upon the at
mosphere before he delivers a ball.
One OF the prettiest plays OF the after
noon was Lelivelts one-hand catch back
Of the stand in left field Of Stones high
/ fly in inning three
! Knlfer's two-sacker in the fourth in
ming went clear TO the left-held fence,
and It was only Stones agility that kept
! the whack from being tHree-bagger.
Every time schweitzer passed the UNI
pires he gave them a black look through
| his smoked glasses.
Either Hoffman is too strong or Ste
phens Is too short. because in the eighth
! inning Hoff's slam from center to catch
/ Gessler at plate was too high to be
reached by the Browns backstop. and
| Gessler scored.
! Street connected with one Of those Ora
ham waters in the fourth act and reached
/ second because Honmans left arm was
not long enough to tennis the swift
! bounder.
! Johnson, remembering the whack ne
/ got on his left shin last Tuesday, gazed
! longngly at "Gabby" Streets leg proA
tectors. "Gabby" won't let any one Dor
row those neither limb coverings, and is
so proud Of 'em that he contemplates
wearing them at all social functions to
which be may be invited.
