IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR MANGAN'S TEAM
Directors TrOunCe Professionals While Ladies Cheer

@ That grand old southside "soup-
 Mbone" which Basil Riley has used so
 Mefect1Vely on the diamond for several
 MyearS, was again in evidence yester
 #uay afternoon at Walnut Hill park,
 MWhen the Directors team, composed
 @of the male force at the city play
 Mgrounds clashed with pr. Dunn's once
 treat segregation known as the Pro-
 M hed1cos and when the smoke of
 @ battle had passed it was seen that
 & the r. MS were on the short end of
 Na to ? score and the joy in the camp
 Mof "Bill' Mangan knew no bounds.
 8 The genial barrister of Trinity street.
 M once boasted a membership on the
 #P. M team but to show that he was a
 MgoOd fellow he lent his strength to the
 M fairgrounds team yesterday, what for
 Mthose that attended the game could
 #not ascertain. However, it is an ac-
 Excepted theory that his finer knowledge
 M of inside baseball may have a tendency
 NJ to give confidence to the other mem-
 M bers of the team, "BilT' being the
 @chairman of the public amusements
 # #commission, and the fellow that signs
 @those little slips of paper on the first
 Sand fifteenth of the month that are
 Railways a welcome visitor at all of the Backgrounds.
 Zwick Answers s. O. s.
 S The loss of the game came as a @shock to the Dunn-Zwick combina-
 Ntion, who since their memorable vic Ntory over the scribes' team last year
 Mhave assumed an unbeatable attitude. NToo much praise cannot be given the
 Mwinners for their notable victory. @F'irst hOnOrs go to Riley, who pitched Na heady game throughout letting adown on his opponents in the ninth Nwhen a whitewash was in sight. &Backing up his mate in fine fashion NCrowley the backstop also shone bril- Mliantly. The inheld of the winners was Mworking in clOck-like fashion, Will N NM Moorehead remembering the days @back in the Central league, scooped i Mthem to the left and right of him and ! Eat the bat he was a veritable Iris ]! NSpeaker. It was Wills two-sack clout ! Fin the fourth stanza that started his , #mates on the road to victory, and be- 1 Mfore the frame had ended the scorer Nhad chalked up seven markers to the @credit of the Directors. In this in- Aning MoOrhead faced Zwick twice and : NIhe second time he hit a pretty single Mto right field, scoring two runs. Up to this time pr. ZWick was meet l Ming with excellent success as a Ntwirler but the first clout by Will NMoorhead was the beginning of the Bend. Riley, the next man up, hit to Mthe bulwarks for a screeching triple Mcnd down the line even to "Ted" Lang Everybody took smote at the Msphere. Jack Rourke also contributed a pretty single, which brought forth rounds of applause from the fans ] 7 who were very liberal with their ap- q preciation of the work of their pets, ! and also showed their distasteefOr the ump. when decisions were rendered H against the Directors. The fans" were none other than the pretty women assistants at the grounds, who in the role of rooters put some of the \ thirty-second degree fans in the background.
 Riley Has a Heart
 That Riley had the game we'll in hand will be seen by the fact that few balls were hit to the Outf1eld. Or these all were hits except the one that headed it's way toward the center field pasture guarded over by Jack Rourke and although it is rumored that Jack N nearly trapped the elusive sphere the box score does not indicate that he was successful. Eddie Martin and Charlie Walsh at third and second made some of the "croWd' forget that A Baker and Barry ever existed by the way in which they speared drives sent in their direction Martin was suffer ing from a sore eye, this. being the reason advanced why some Of his throws were not more accurate. Walsh made the feature play of the day when 8 he raced out to center field and caught a drive from Zwick's bat. Vensel and Lang had little to do, and they did it well.
 What Willie Did-Not.
 When the writer arrived at the grounds the first thing that greeted him was a tall athletic looking young s man Cavorting around thes. s. posi- ton. Dressed imma Culately in a white linen suit with a hat to match, 1t was necessary to make inquiries as to his identity. but the veil of doubt S was eliminated when this same y. m. Etrutted to the plate and Vainly smOte the atmosphere thrice, the writer # then recovered his bearings and was satisfied that it was Judge William Francis Mangan, late star of the base ball diamond, more recently the sensa ton of the tennis world, and who gives great promise of developing into the logical successor of Francis Ouimet on the nine hole course game. Sum marizing Williams work for the day it will be found that he struck out three hnnes was thrown out Once and reached the initial sack once on Base on Balls. On his arrival on the paths the sensation was so great for Willie that he proceeded to become ac- |, oh
