the chilling wind yesterday afternoon
and journeyed to Hubinger park,
where they witnessed one of the
wierdest, wooziest exhibitions Of tie
national pastime that has ever beer
perpetrated in this city.
At the time when the scorers could
stand 1t no longer and had tucked he
little red books under their arm and
staggered toward the exit, the score
had been pushed, pummeled, yalloped
and showed until it had reached to-
tai Of twenty-three tallies, for the In
dams, while the alleged ball club
from the Moose club was amassing
grand total OF cipherg.
For three innings the Moose CLUB
maintained something ike order IN
their ranks. but after that the sight
OF so many indians travelling the
paths seemed 10 make them dizzy and
their batting order became mixed Up
until it was impossible 10 tell Thsre
the head or tail Of the biting list
was and the task Of scoring was gig
en- up at that point.
The feature OF the game was the
tungo throwing, in tbs direction Or
first base By Mesgrs. Kelly and Smith,
Of the Moose, whose pegs indicated
taat Fern, their first baseman was %
Gated somewhere in the general direc-
tIem Of Montrose They finally dis
covered the first sacker. however and
18th made ore good throw TO prove
thar they had learned their lesson
McC4zffgau, the first up for the IN
dialss, was safe when Arnold booted
his lnfefd tap and went TO thirc
whsn the pitcher threw the ball into
right agld. Taafe scored the short
stop, ghen he hunted to Arnold ard
heat IL out. HaaKe sent Taafe 10
third on a hit 70 center, and the man
ager opened another 80 season with
4 homer into deep right center. Harei-
gon flew cut TO King, nut HiIIy open
ed hoStilities again With q triple TO
left center. Eugmau was out Arnold

In the second inning McGaffgan's
triple to right center did not material

display vas again opened up in the
third. Manush clouted ~ left center
for double, Harrison scored the b1zs
with two Dagger into the middle
garden and scored ON Zisr's error
wniie pat took third. Engrnan doubled
past Smith and crossed the pan OF
Glafkes single 10 left Russ doubled
to center, sccring Clarke and McGaf

hts sky.scraper 10 right, the shortstop
going TO third While Arnold vas
winding up, McGaffgan sneaked home
just before Taafe grounded out via
the Kelly Fern route Haake was OUT
Arnold 10 Fern
The most important part OF this
session VAS the fact that the indian;
only took two outs Whether or nj
it was intentional With the boss u
hurry UP things, is not known but ii,
one seemed TO care.
Spencer and Means replaced Arnc:s
and Bittenstid in the fotrth hui the re
cruit Jared little better than the aros
teur hurler had done, four hits an
two errors, coupled with the pliterin
of the plate by 1Iilly, netting the wa,
riors three more TALES The FIT
was more of the same. four hits an
three errors giving the braves A.
more.
At this the pain became excrueia
ing and the score books were folle
up while three doctors assisted II
scribes from the field 1t Is said tn,
first aid was shortly afterward a
ministered to the Moose outfelder
who We're on the point of collapsin
due TO their tremendous efforts to n
their pins off in pursuit of the vi
lops to the gardens.
The boy score Ia too painful
