This is the third benefit that has
been given for Mrs. Ornellas, the first
being fights and vaudeville at the Or
pheum, the second a big matinee at
the Empire, and the third being che
one of yesterday, when the knights of
the white apron and the vaudeville ac-
tors and actresses of the city lent
themselves to entertain the crowd that
wendell its way out to the league
grounds.
From the time the first ball was
pitched by Larry Twomey in the game,
through the races held between in
nings and after the game, the whole
afternoon was one of good, clean spot
which was appreciated and applaudad
by the many fans on the bleachers.

Credit must be given the Misses
Baldwin, Rogers, WATSON, Dolliver and
Carranze for the way they separated
the spectators from their coin, and
there was never any change coming for
the luckless one who bought a pack

The spectators were met outside the
gate as soon as they had purchased

they add to the benefit fund by their
bright smiles and coaXing voices.
BY 2:30 there was a large crowd
present, and extra cars had to be run
by the Rapid Transit to take them all
to the grounds and back again to
town.
The actors made good, and though
they did not succeed in winning their
ball game, they won much applause by
their funny stunts on the diamond,

some game played yesterday afternoon,

at times, the Corks getting as high as
five runs in one inning, while the best
the actors could do was to bring four
men over the plate in any one turn at
the bat.
At times there was an exhibition of
ball that would have done credit to Il
team, and the whole game
was all to the good. even If some of
the players had not been on a diamond
for ten years until they began to prac-
tise for this event.
AT the end of four innings an inter-
mission was declared, and then some
field sports were run off while the ball
players had a rest and drank pink
lemonade and cream soda.

The first event was a race for fat
men, in which there We're four starters,
Fern finishing first, Houghtaling sec

side wheel motion was not enough to,
bring him in the winner.
