Some Of the ivory looked fairly we'll
polished, but some of it seemed q
trlfie warped at the corners. But it
Is not wise to scof at ivory, for
Mathewson was once ivory and so was
Babe Ruth, and very solid at that.
The most spectacular pupil in the
kindergarten was Cute Claude Daven-
port, brother to Dave. Claude is so
tall that he would have to stoop over
to pat Jess Willard on the bean.
Standing on Henry Fabian's mound he
can look over the top of Coogan's
Bluff and see the Palisades-not that
he is interested in those wonders of
nature, but he is built on the same
plan and elevation as the Woolworth
Building.
Has Curves, but no Control
Claude has more curves but less
discretion than a show girl. His
curves loop in wide arcs from no.
where. He made the mistake of pitch
ing one straight ball to Zach Wheat.
who lobbed it right into the right
field stand for homer. After that
Claude wound the pill three times
around the grandstand and had it
approach the plate from a different
exit or entrance each time.
Burleigh Grimes had good workout
and somewhat mystified the kinder
garten; then Clarence Mitchell tried
out his soupbone. Virgil Barnes. own
brother to Jess, started for the Junior
Giants and did very nicely. Then
Claude went in for the Babes in the
Polo Grounds. Evers had intended to
nut IN Rube Benton, but Claude had
been announced and Rube was allowed
to finish his siesta. The Rube's bun
ions are tender now anyhow, what
with the cold weather coming on.
Tommy Griffith plastered young Virgil
Barnes for two-bagger to the right
center corner OF the lot. Zachary Wheat
placed single somewhere between Long
George Kelly and Lonely Larry Doyle.
and Griffith scored.
In the second aiming the Kants tied
the score with an array of total strang-
from the Businesses of the dugout of
the Giants since the team returned
from San Antonio. Observe how the
run was achieved:
Alphonse CASTOR, the junior catcher.
got base on balls from Burleigh
Grimes. Virgil Barnes, the junior
pitcher, laid down a sacrifice. Beany
Walker, the junior Giant left fielder,
lobbed one to Grimes, who threw high
to third to cut down Alphonse, and
everybody was safe. Then young Dick
Kinsella, own offspring of Sinister
Dick Kinsella. the ivory hunter, drove
out a single, scoring CASTOR.
Dodgers Rally in Fourth
In the fourth inning the Dodgers
came back with two runs. Ed Konetchy
bounced a hit past Douglas Baird,
junior Giant third baseman. Peterkin
Kilduf, who was once Giant ivory him
self, singled to right, and both base
runners went up one when Pleasant
Dick Kinsella, the son of Sinister Dick
Kinsella, let the pill get by him.
Miller punched a hit to left and Kon
etchy and Kilduff scored.
In the fourth the junior Giants got
another. Long George Kelly got hit
and Lonely Larry Doyle got base on
balls. Baird beat an infeld hit and
filled the bases. Long George finally
scored on a sacrifice fly by Alphonse
Castor. The other run of the Dodgers
was Wheat's homer off Cute Claude
Davenport in the eighth.
Johnny Evers, teacher of the Kinder
garten, looked on with the hopeless
melancholy of a pedagogue, but some
times he smiled q wistful smile as he
muttered, "Only one day more. What
world; what a world!"
