loosas pasted the bewldered and paci-
Get Yankees to the tune of II to . at
\ the South Side lot to-day. What the
Flatbush plasterers did to Jack Quinn
was tragdy that is sad to recount.
y They pasted him from all sides.
The Lallapaloosas had little in the
matter Of the breaks, but at the same
time they played an infuriated brand
i Of ball, while the Yanks seemed dis
posed to linger and take their lacing.
The Yanks, when they did connect with
the ball, hit it where they were. The
Lallapaloosas, with much better judg-
ment and much better luck, hit them
where they were not, which is the OBJ
Iect of the great American pastme.
/ Uncle Wilbert Robinson sulked in
che dugout all afternoon. Wilbert's
feelings have been lacerated. Mrs
Robinson was entertaining Southern
lady and explaining the game. "Whc
Is that foolish looking stout gentleman
Southern lady. Mrs. Robinson evadec
the question.
Little Boy" Higgins
"And that little boy over there,
continued the Southern lady, pointing
sger of the Yanks. 81 suppose that
Ae is the stout mans little boy"
Somehow this got to Robbie and he
Did in the dugout all afternoon. What
Be saw as he peeped out OF corner
sf his refuge must have brought him
little balm for his wounded feelings.
At this particular point in the devel-
,pment Of the great national game
,he Lallapaloosas did not look half as
bad as they did on paper or as Uncle
Wilbur would have the unsuspecting
eublic believe. They all had their bats
with them, and the mountainous con-
aition of the infeld did not prevent
Them from staging some double plays
that would not have looked SO slow
Een in midseason.
Caamity's clutch caught the Nanks
/ tn the nrst inning and again in the
i sixth, with a short encore in the sew
| NTH. Lieutenant Colonel Huston, the
sngineer half-owner of the Yanks, was

0Alara started it with a clean hit
20 centre. Griffith was safe. while
Ward did some juggling stunts with
.he little pellet. Hy Myers got piece
! Of Quinn's floating rib and hit scor-
ing O'Mara. Olson ripped thumb
> nail from Peckinpaugh's hand and got
another scratchy hit, scoring Griffith.
Hickman's out and singles by Malone
and Wheat did the rest. When the
dust lifted the Lallapaloosas had a
lead of four and the game.
lieutenant Colonel Huston dropped
the surveying tools with which he was
measuring the mouth of Squire Ebbets
and moved out behind third base
where his presence might lend encour-
agement and inspiration to his men.
The sight of the great right fielder of
the 18th United States Engineers
steadied the team for few innings,
but III the sixth young Mr.. Quinn be
gan 10 ascend as though he were after
she altitude record.
Olson Starts Havoc
Olson scratched one right past Ward.
Hickman lobbed down slow one which
hr. Quinn was equally slow to re-
irIeve. When the pitcher did finally
land the ball he threw it eighteen feet,
SM and half inches over Pipp's head
passed ball shot tfs runners UP a
peg. Malone's drive to centre brought
N two runs.
Al this point Of the pastime and at

desired by Comiskey that he almost
