Yesterday. and the summary at th&S
bottom of this narrative tells the dol
full tale.
Before the game there was q whoe15
lot of talk about disqualifying HAySS
the catcher Of the u. {. II. team. -
had played in the previous contest. An4
had helped his team along some. Thq4s
when the rubber came. there was Son.
contention. 1t was said that Hay Woma
not regular sawbone. Most peo1s4s
who know Hay feel that he can oa&S
bones as well as almost anyone. fagS
they have seen him work a saw aM6a
have seen him In the laboratory mtxin4&
things that many a good chemist cOsM05

But at the conclusion of the gnusoEs
when ii was seen that Hays side W1Ms
in the hole the objection to him fndo4I
away like the early morning dew be1oful
the rays OF Old Sol.
Pleasant Afternoon.
Aside from this. however. the same
was an enjoyable one from the stAndeS
things pulled off tending to makeS
any afternoon pleasant. II . feW
cushion seats had been thrown around
Unfortunately, there might have
been some more interest, but ~ itS

pulled Off.
The defeated crowd took their de-
feat as gracefully as an elephant try~s
ing to climb tree, while the other
fellows took their victory like duct
taking to water. Like a flock 90
ducks.
Up to the fifth inning the game
went along nicely The winning
team was not SO far ahead. This
game was In doubt. There. were ulk1
sorts OF chances for the other Side
to catch up. and the rooeeng OF both
sides sounded like party Of PatA-
gonians attacking a ship full OF Scans
dinavians.
But the sixth inning told the tale
The heavy batters OF the u. c. M
bunch landed upon the luckiess Ward
for FIVE swats. which netted six runs
Then the victorious bunch stuck D.
the ship like lot Of sinking men
Fine work. boys.
They held the other fellows down
to. nothing more, to the last inninGsSSS
when Ward and Hopgood helped tn42
sinking ship to float little. wherN-s
upon Bill Hay singled and the tW0M
scored. But that was all.
The expected rally did not m4~S
terialize and the crowd bore Ayreo
out of the lot and far down townrdS
the city on their shoulders, on their
heads and in their pockets. 1t = A8
question how such a large crowd 60
fans could have handled Ayres With
out breaking his legs and arms an48
pushing his head into his shoes. HI
will probably be able to appear ~
lectures this morning. Here Is wha&4
