This young man who spends his of
time yOdlin1 tenor songs promises to
be big help to Chance this season.
The cold weather apparently gave him
no concern and he pitched base ball Of
the finished variety until tho last man
had been retired In the ninth.
Among tho twenty thousand SILVER
inE fans the Highlanders made q most
favorable impression. The faces of
most OF them were new to the New
York public, but if tho work OF yes.
terday keeps up the newness will not
last long. Evidently they can hit,
and hitting quickly gains the affection
OF old friend fan.
The new Highlanders are not un-
usually fast on the bases. but Chance
Keeps them running every minute.
Tho way they tore around those bases
WAS enough even to irritate such a
wonderful pegger az Schang. Mind
YOU. Ed Sweeney got two stolen bases,
another round Fritz Maisel stole both
second and third. He might have
stolen more had not the old diamond
run slap out Of bases.
The fans fell hard for Holden, the
new centre fielder. This young man,
though trifie slow OF foot, raped
the ball for three clean hits and would
have poled 4 corker his last time I'm
but for a wonderful running catch by
Strunk. He hit the ball sQuarely on
the nose every time at bat That
circus catch kept him from finishing
up the day with a perfect score.
! Williams, tho new first basemau
got but one hit. but the loss of an
other WAS due to a peculiar freak OF
luck. Maisel was on third and Walsh
ON first In the fourth inning. wher
Williams gave the sign for Q hit ant

The fielding OF Maisel and Peckin

than this pair.
II was Chance himself who. for

CPEED may be q good thing In a
Worlds Series. but when Connie
Mack sent Bullet Joe" Bush to
the front by way of opening the sea-
son he evidently forgot that the
Highlanders had never been In n
Worlds Series. That kind OF stuff
had no fears for them. Those "bul-
let's" that tore holes through the
heavy artillery of the Giants on tho
lamentable occasion of last fall were
nattened out by the Yanks as fast as
they tipped up to the plate. Mighty
few of them reached tho catcher. In
just two innings this bullet shooting
young gent had run fiat out OF am

Among tho players there was much
surprise when Comic Mack. contrary
TO the usual custom, sent Y speed

curve artist, but there were no loud
laments. In the early spring all
teams are weak on curves. but can

A lot of old fossils with whisKers
and tassels are always predicting
the worst; we're in for a panic and
evils titanic. and everything's 60
ing to burst. A lot of old Crouch
ers get up from their coucbes and
beef till they toddle to bed; they're
looking with horror on every to-
morrow, and each has a boil in his
head. This dirge they keep hum
ming: There is trouble a-coming,
the storm clouds are thick in the
sky. They're gathering faster, the
clouds of disaster, and there'Il soon
be a storm by and hy! Go to with
your granting! Go on with your
hunting, for omens for trouble
and woe. The futures as pleasant
and calm as the present, as smooth
as the sweet long ago! A lot of old
cruakers in cellul0id choakels, sit
round in the grocery store, and say
we are humping away to the dump
ing, and sigh for the brave days
Of yore. But heed not their drivel
the grocer's too civil or they'd
be kicked into the street; the
world is improving, the peoples are
moving 70 glory on jubilant feet.
The worlds growing better, so heed
not the fretted and prophet and
gloom, but by the neck take him
and biff him and shake him and
push him clear out Of the ROOM

ment on the ranch during the after
noon and after finishing his supper
got into an argument with De.
laney. 1t is understood that he be-
same abusive and called Delaney
some vile names. The latter re-
sented the abuse and went for his
gun. Returning with his revolver
he fred three shots at Lima. one of
which tack effect as above stated.
After being shot Lima ran into
the house closing the door as he
went. Delaney followed his victim
but the latter jumped through a
window and made his escape. The
injured man was brought to Gard.

Delaney was arrested by the
officials and lodged in the Jail at
this place. His preliminary hear
ing will be held today before JUS
