punching hits off Hickman in the sixth
and seventh innings and profiting by
the misplays of the home representa-
tives, the visitors COPIED handily.
"Old Zip" Zackert, almost as old as
the national game, and participant IN
the sport in this section since Iowa was
admitted to the union, was Brennan's
choice for the days work, and he was
out there with even less control than
he boasted a year ago, which was no
great quantity. In fact, the old war;
rior was so wild that the home club
should have won on passed batters, but
the generous Mr.. Asher, showing com
Function for the veteran, was rather
partial in the matters Of balls and
strikes. Asher made decisions which
were disconcerting to both teams dur
ing the course of the performance. and
caused spirited protests from both
managers. ,-- -
Ball Bat for Durham.
A presentation speech and a present
for the smuggling B. Durham. preceding
the uncorking of the festivities. may
have had something to do with the err
ratio work Of the infielders, who were
not invited to participate IN sne group
picture staged at the plate, in which
Durham, his majesty, the Jumps"
Jack" Register, representing the rail-
road men, and F. o. Bailey, who acted
as orator for the occasion, were the
central figures. 10,
Durham was called before the stand
at bell time, and presented with a bat
by the railroaders, with an expression
OF good will and the hope that he might
put the pill over the fence with hislnew
war club. The bat, carefully wrapped
in oiled paper, and packed in floral
crate, was duly turned out Of Its BAN
dages and exhibited. It was made of
cast iron and was said to weigh sonne-
where around sixty-seven pounds. It
had been cast for the railroad mems

Sargcnt's great work, the two doubles
and Murphy's brilliant catch of Bran
negan's long fly in the eighth, were the,
features Of the game. -. g. ~
