Ramming, tanning, slammins, bang
Ing and otherwise mistreating i certain
young man who answers when Slocu;n
is called. the Rebs yesterday trampled
all over Bill Jordan's hopes and added
another ball game to their string OF
victories. the finish standing il to g.
Inc young man who joys in the patro-
nynlic Slocum will probably deny very
emphatically that there is nothing i'm 81
name, having Very good reasons to
remember Il certain disaster in that
same New York town.
Anyhow Or anyway, it is mostly TO
MI Slocum that the Rebs owe the ease
with which the game was won. B,ll
Jordan has a good club in the knicker-
rockers from out III the upper reaches
OF the Bronx. but is evidently sorelv
lacking in finging material No bah
c!uD can win games with such weak
defense in the mound. When Slocum
wasn't hitting somebody on the ton Of
The head, or when he wasn't making
poor Joe Bruggy scramble through the
mud 10 stop his wide ones he was Civ
ing the locals an opportunity TO break
INTO the Joe Jackson class with the
club.
AN interesting feature of what must
nave been a very tame a 1T 1rn,oon indeed
was the influx of about 100 N.w Yor,,
iahs' here In attendance upon the Royal
Arcanum convention. who yelled Ions
ana Justify for the Gothamites-thati is
they yelled until drowned under the
horrifying bomba rdment of the Rcbs
sun though the pace was too strons.

to-day in hope of better things.
To make the JOY of the fans COM
piete, three homers were offered in
the repertoire Of happenings. Ncurcr.
Tor the visitors. and Blue and Bohan-

haliimerers Also there was triple
and seXtct Of doubles. each club gar
nerlns three of the extra variety. 1t
was one great afternoon. even though
ttermy Mcfarland had to stand up and
let Slocum hit him three times in sue
cession and also splash through benvv
seas out on the ramparts. In fact. the
going was heavy enough to suit The
pest murders in the world, though the
inileld was fairly fast, considering the
rains.
Without wishing to rub 1t in, refer
chce must again be made to Mr. S!o-
