1t was comeback day at the Hayes
ball yard Mister Chapman, the Dan
vile slabbist, who at the previous
matinee carelessly intercepted swift
ly moving agate with the moustache
section of his dining room, again cast
his chapeau into the diamond. Con-
trary to all rules of etiquette, the
PretGels failed to treat the GONZALES
cling patient with kindness and respect.
Instead they took advantage of his
weakened "condish" and mutllated his
offerings with a right good will.
Jesse James Barnes, the cyclone eel
lar haoitue from the western plains,
was the other comeback. Lurid hurl-
ing showed Jesse into the clear on the
previous day, but not so of a Thurs
day. The broncho busting Kid was

REVAMPED FRONT.
But 81 members of the opposition
faced the Circleville bandit in nine
rapid innings. Stage Manager Walsh
made a switch in the makeup of the
chorus and supporting company. Otto
Vogel, the German comedian and pri e

on the bench, while Right Fielder
Ohlin was called upon to double in
brass, coming in and holding down
the keystone position in a manner

REED LEAVES.
The game also marked the farewell
appearance OF Milton Reed, the ster.
ling shortstopper of the PrStzel aggre-
cation. Milt accepted, five chances
without faltering and scored a run, al
though he failed to get a blow in four
trials. On HIS final trip TO the gutta
percha, the bugs awakened to the fact
that they would never again see the
southern lad swung the bludgeon on
those grounds, and subdued cheers
and ladylike handclappings made the
welkin almost ring. There was an alb

bats and the like Also there were no
goodbye speeches or sob scenes. We
had expected TO see Dan OLeary weep
