NOTES OF THE GAME.

! No LED OF / He GAME.
Many Of the rooters during the ninth
INNING, used hot water bags on their feet
and kept their fingers crossed by the lib
eral use Of tire tape.
! In handling a swift drive from the bat
of Dixie Walker. in the ninth act. Austin
gave an exhibition Of diabalo spinning
the sphere IN the air and finally catch
ing it four yards from third base
fine exhibition Of high and lofty
| acrobatics was INDUCED in by Messrs.
Schaefer and Sweeney. in the third in
ming, Germany" came home on Elber-
fields hit and tripped Sweeney. Iney
both went down, after performing va
rious horizontal parabolic curves, and as
Schaefer scored run, he, Of course, en-
joyed the gentle exercise most.
| Right fielder Wolter ran fully fifty
yards 70 nab McBride's swift smash in
the fifth session. II was "a great catch.
| but in the next half Gessler duplicated
the stunt by a hard run and one-hand
catch Of Laports drive that had all the
| earmarks Of a two-baEger.
During the swatfest in the third inning
one well-meaning but misguided rooter IN
the stand endeavored 10 perform a solo
! barn dance on the roof OF the players
/ cyclone cellar. "Reddy" ODay appeared
on the scene, and when he showed the
danger signal Greedy simply removed
his haO the enthusiastic terplschorean
| artist desisted at once.
! The Department Of Agriculture was rep
resented at the game. but kept their
vegetables TO themselves.
Il don't pay for StaIllngs to put on
/ too many "Frllls."
Walkers slowing down in the ninth and
Lelivelts evident desire 20 make a spec
tacular catch. which. by the way, resulted
in an error. came near giving the Gotham
ties chance to tie the score.
! There were some scares thrown out In
in the ninth. II seems that sIx-run lead
may be quickly cut down. After four
runs were scored by the Yankees It
looked exceedingly dangerous after a
double steal with Cree at the bat. For
tunately Cree grounded 10 Schaefer. who
threw him out at first.
Walker got two hits yesterday and
scored two runs. With a little luck he
would have gotten four. Austin robbed
him in the eighth and Hemphnl had 10

sixth. Few pitchers of ability can do
much more than fan at them.
/ The lake in right field is stu a source
/ Of bother TO the felders. Gessler tool,
two showers during the game and on
/ Chase's hit literally waded into the center
o. the puddle. Not to be outdone. he
chased WOlter into the foamlng breakers
with his triple in the third.
Austin pulled off a ringer when he
robbed Walker of a hit in the eighth
/ The hit and catch were made so Quickly
that It was hard to realize what had been
done. Austin seemed TO jump with the
swing Of the bat, succeeded in stoppinc
the drive, and caught it coming TO the
ground
! Germany Schaefer was on deck with the
ginger al all times. His error was made
on a difficult drive, and was quite ex-
cusable, although II came at very in
opportune time. In the first inning he
laid down a pretty sacrifice.
Lelivelt batted 1000. getting two singles.
/ n TT-Hfo
hit with the ball in his four trips to the
plate.
The outfeld contributed six Of the
dozen hits yesterday. which is going some
for any team. Milan and Gessler batted
| 800. The doctor gathered in two fat
clouts yesterday which were certainly
| beauties, one to right for three bases
and paste between Cree and Hemphill
for two. and which kept the felders
| guessing.
! It isn't how they win that counts so
much with the fans; it is whether they
win. Yesterdays game was replete with
ali the things that go TO make up a game
that is popular with the fans. Hits.
runs, errors, good plays and poor plays.
and plenty Of them all the time. IS what
the average fan pays to see.
Warhop puts reverse English on every
| ball he delivers.
Sweeney can surely peg 10 second. Two
men died. being caught by mile. Milan
was out on an attempt, but knight FUN
| bled
| 1t was a distinct relief to note that
there were no attempts at Marathon
races after a runner. such as the Kid
pulled off the other day; also there were
no wild ones heaved TO the pigeons who
/ fly around the stands. McBride's low
throw was made from deep left short
1t has been noticed that the pitchers
need a little coaching in fielding On
Monday Oberlin made two bad breaks
