FEDERALS BEAT
SEWARD AGAIN

The Federals got away with Seward yesterday by a score of seven to One' Seward would have been shut out if it hadn't been for three bagger by Frank Reed who scored later. For six or seven innings no run was regis tered by either side but then came a bit of bOneheadedness followed in quick succession by other examples of ivory domeism that made Seward look pathetically weak. The worst of it was that the most glaring errors came from the least suspected quarters. The Federals scored four in one inn ing while some of the players were engaging in tongue fights with Um- pire Ellsworth. During the game two dogs started scrap opposite the grand stand and gave most realistic exhibition of artistic mimicry of some ball players when they wake up to a real interest in the game.
