Interesting Feature of

About the only thing the Midwest
team had in their game with the
B. q o. yesterday evening was good
bunch Of female rooters. AbeN. ten
girls from the box factory took seats
IN the grand stand Just above the
Midwest bench and cheered their
team at every opportunity. Their
support however. was in vain, for
the Midew est team put up their usu-
al punk" game winch came to a
happy conclusion after seven innings
OF play with the score 100, the rail-
readers IN the lead.
The B. & o. made time" in the
first inning when they started off
with four hits. assisted by some four
or five errors which netted Just six
runs, They scored from time to time
in other innings when they felt like
it and all the while the Midwest
team was laboring difficulty to even
touch the ball.
In the sixth inning 1t looked like
the Midwest was about due for a
score when Stewart misjudged Funk's
long fly to right field which was good
for three bases. The next man struck
out and the side was retired.
Gilmore pitched a good game and
allowed but three hits. H. Carpenter
also pitched good baseball, but his
support was poor as usual. Twelve err
rors were made by the boxmakers.
Features of the game was the heavy
hitting OF Madden who made two two
base hits and a single IN four trips to
the plate and the star fielding play of
Mackey, the B. & o. second baseman
who handled eleven chances perfect
