HEAVIER C'Rody'). Billy Sunday

him.
Enjoys the Baseball Game.
Mr.. Sunday enjoyed yesterdays
baseball game hugely. When he and
his party entered the grand stand a
cheer went up and several times du-
ing the progress of the game Billy
came in for more cheers, especially
when he went into the field and
locked arms with McGraw. manager
of the Giants As, he left there were
cries of Speech, speech!" but Billy
merely waved his arms and ex-
claimed: mot here boys, thank you.
Manager McGraw has a good base
ball club in the Giants this year, even
If they did lose the game" said Sun
day ut is a we'll balanced team, and
although it is too early in the season
to make a prediction as to the final
outcome of the National League race,
think the other teams in the league
will have to go some to beat the New
Yorkers.
"All of McGraw's men looked to be
in good condition, and they plainly
showed the benefits of the spring
training trip in the South. The Phila-
delphia players, too, were in good
condition, and the club is a fast one
that promises to go far in the race
for the pennant this season.
"While yesterdays game was the
first big league contest / have seen
this season, l think that the races for
the pennants in both the National and
American Leagues will be keen this
year. Such a condition is good for
baseball for II keeps the interest of
the fans well keyed up.
"Tesreau, who started In the pitch
er's box for the Giants. and Meyers,
his catcher, made a good battery. The
Philadelphia battery was also an ex-
cellent one. Demaree Is some pitcher
and I think Killifer Is a corking
backstop. AS 1 said before, both
teams looked very good to me and
I'm mighty glad I had an opportunity
to take In the game.
Thinks Tesreau Is Improving.
"Tesreau Is improving, l think, and
he should prove a dependable man on
McGraw's twirling staff. He pitched
good ball while / was watching the
game. Becker made a nice catch OF
Snodgrass's hit in the first inning and
Luderus also caught hard one when
he ran for Dobert's high fly.
What saw of the game was good
baseball, but I wish it might have
been old times and the Chicago White
Stockings might have taken the field
against either team. Maybe I am a
bit prejudiced, but I think we could
have licked either the Giants or the
Phillies yesterday. With John Clark
son or Jim Mccormick pitching, and
Mike Kelly catching, we would have
battery which would be trouble
| some to the present day clubs.
Then take the infie'd, with Cap
