Petersburg. Va, May 3l.-Some body
bulled the crepe market over in this
town to-day, and late tonight the
village beaux and bellies are standing
around the corners wearing weeds of
that sombre hue. which forebodes
nothing but evil Heinie Busch is busy
explaining, and they say that President
( Parkinson is letting contract 10
move the left field fence at his bali
park back about 100 or so yards. The
dismalness of this town is really OPP
prcssive. But this isn't diatribe on
gloomy Goobervilie, so let's TO il.

grabbed the fat out of the fire in the
ninth inning, and couple of home
runs produced by George Cowan and
Truck Egan, the last named with a
man on base, turned the trick. To

ment that in the seventh inning rain
began to fall and the game was called
temporarily until the clouds had

had been unable to score in its half
