r N the Nick of Time" might be an
appropriate title tor the comedy


appropriate title for the comedy
4 in five scenes at Wiedenmayer's
Park yesterday afternoon given by Jo9
McGinnity's stock company of villains,
comedians, ~tragedians, ETC., In conjunc-
ton with Joe Kelley's travelling players
from Toronto.
But for the excellent work of the
scene shifters the performance woul1
have been a fiat failure from a local
standpoint. 1t was just in h nick
of time when "Tessie' Tesreau and his
''curls'' were squeezing tie life out OF
the helpless Tigers that the property
mar overhead came to the rescue n
put the performance on the blink BY
turning on the rain. At this thrilling
moment the game had gone four and a
half innings and two were out in the
Tiger half of the fifth, with the scors
3 TO 0 against the locals.
The weather man played the part to
perfection, for had Dalton, who was
thirty-three and a third per cent. ex
tinguished, been put out the Leafs
would have been credited with thu
game by a 8 to 0 score. AS it is, the
game does not count. Rain-checks.
however, are O. r., as a legal game
was not played.
George Boice went along swimming
~ for three rounds, and then the drip
ping rain put him up to his neck in a
sea of trouble.
He lost control and walked Jordan
in the fourth and the pass was costly,
for Tim turned it into a run. Bradley
followed with a lucky infield hit made
possible by the wet sphere, and Phelps
walked, filling the bases. Mullen hit
TO Louden, who had a chance at every
base, but chose the wrong one, and his
throw to second was late enough to
allow Jordan to count, Boice then
steamed them up to Vaughn and made
Bobby biff the breezes.
With two down the Tigers captured
the bases on a single and two passes,
but Smith popped one to O'Hara, who
happened to be laying right.
In the fifth the real farce began.
Tesreau walked and Shaw forced him,
~whereupon Shaw stole second and
scored on O'Hara's single to centre.
"Wurra Wurra' whirred down to sec
ond on Dalton's throw-in and Dele
hanty singled bringing the little Celt
home. Jordan hit to Nee and Agler
stepped off first. so that Tim would not
be called out, and the game would be
further delayed,
Tim stole second and creeped to third
unmolested. Bradley walked. In order
to further delay the game McGinnity
went in, languidly tossed over the five
allotted balls and then had a talk with
McCarty, after which he passed Phelps.
Phelps stayed on first, so that McGin-
nifty couldn't make any useless throws,
but Jimmy Mullin struck at everything,
and the Leafs went on the field. They
succeeded in getting rid of Agler and
Kelly on strikes, but Jack Dalton de-
layed things so much hat he had two
balls and one strike when the rain came
down in torrents. and the game was
called off, for the field was under two
inches of water in a jiffy.

oUIcKENING CRICKET.

NEW YORK, June ga distinct in
novation in cricket matches is being
introduced on Staten Island. Instead
of the. regulation six balls to an over,
the experiment of having the bowler
send down ten balls before being re-
lieved, is being tried with signal sue
cess. The result is a decided quicken
ing of the game, and efforts will be
made to have the scheme introduced

IT. HREE of the heaviest hitting out
helders in the Eastern League
today and a terror to pitchers
with men oil bases are Jack Kelly, of
the Tigers; Curt Elston, of the Grays,
and Otto Deininger, of the Skeeters.
Kelly has made more home runs in
the brief spell the present season has
gone than he made all last year. DEM
niger Is making a record for himself
as an extra base hitter, and Elston was
banging the ball hard b fore he vas
laid up through injuries.
He seems to be the hard-luck kid this
year, for he wrenched his back sliding.
Laterhe urned an ankle, and then he
hurt his throwing arm. When things
were mending a relative became i'll,
and he was called home.
Deininger. besides being a heavy hit
ter, is one of the cleverest base runners

1t looks like another year in the majors
for Eddie.
1t is said that Jack Slsttery. of the
Maple Leafs, will be given his uncon-
ditional release. Jack is a good hitter.
but not so fast as a backstop. II
would look good around the initial
sack, though.
Nearly all the Eastern League um-
pires worked we'll yesterday. Yes, they
did NOT, according to reports.
The Grays have displayed good work
during the last ten days, and Provi-
dence fans are turning out in larger
numbers.
Lew McAllister Is going better than
ever with the Bisons. The forme.
Tiger captain-backstop is hitting and
fielding well and also stealing bases.
George (~'Scoops') Carey, who per-
formed in the Eastern League for
Rochester and Buffalo, has signed with
a Mississippi team known as the
Greenwoods.

Bill Burns, of the Phillies, pitched
one ball against Brooklyn yesterday
