About 1000 fans turned out and gave
the boys a great send-ofr with brass
band, flowers and shivers.
The shivers were most conspicuous,
for the wind was off the lake and felt

Because of the chills the fan were
glad to see somebody win In the ninth,

SUITS FEATURE OF GAME
Long before the ninth inning the
crowd had seen all it wanted of the
new ball suits with their patriotic
trimmings. That was the main fea.
ture of the ball game, and made all
present feel like singing THE Star
Spanged Banner" The band finished
off the day with a mixture of patriotic
airs, just as it would have done had
a regiment of soldiers been about to
