Vile to be at the game. The gallant
Captain. barred his breast toward the
looking as broad as the main
sail of a seventy-four, quite overaw-

times, and then struck

direction, and in spite Of yells.

defiance of everything and everybody,

direction and came In swearing that

which way to run. He was two hours

laid on the shelf.
The King Bee
AS a player, Walker was par OK
cellence the Ajax lebanon of the
game. He ran faster and. covered
more ground, caught more balls and
was in more places at the same
time, gave better advice, called foul
balls instead of the umpire, and then
wondered why he did it, than all the
rest.
Weddings Lost Opportunity
Wedding might have caught ball
once, but unfortunately was sitting
on the ground taking a flea out of
his stocking. "For Gods sake" said
McHenry, eff the fellow isn't sitting
down." And sure enough George
was fiat on the ground, not thinking
it possible that ball would come
near him.
FOgle's Luck
Fogle was second edition OF Ed
Murrell, revised and corrected, and
would have made some runs, If he
had not always been caught out.
Prepared To Celebrate
Sam Cox enjoyed the game more
than anyone. He carried out a ten
cent flag to wear in his hat if his
side won.
Model Players
Tom Smith, Strother and Hill
played we'll, always being in the
right place at the wrong time. Hill
can throw ball fifteen feet now and
thinks, with little practice, that he
can gain an inch or two on that dis
lance.
: How They Were Taken In
Haynes and Plat were taken in to
supply vacant places, under pledge
to go to studying law. They have
already gone to reading law with
Fogle.
More OF The Same Sort
Wise, Phirps and Rowe are all
splendid players, always catching the
ball and keeping it. Rowe is really
a dangerous player-that is it is dan
gerous to be within forty feet of his
bat, which always slips out Of his
hands.
Morgan Takes Ii Easy
Morgan, as player, was dignified
and never once condescended to go
out OF a walk, a rare quality in a
base ballist.
There was more yelling, cries and
gesticulating than could be imagined.
The results of the game may be sue
cinctly summed up:
MeHenry, Gregory and Morgan are
in the dry docks, getting new tim
bers. neither of them being able to
tell which leg to limp on.
yStrother, Hubbard and Cox are
laid up in ordinary, to have the spars
washed down and be refitted.
Walker is alongside the dock.
waiting for a. tan yard to be put up
to get enough leather for a new pair
Of boots.
The game was profitable, not cost
ing over sS00-in time and repairs
and has been played over on the dry
goods boxes at least fifty times since
Thursday.
Judge Townsend came on the
ground. but was expelled by the po-
lice force before he could be identi-
fed. He was taken for an Irish
emigrant just landed.
Judge Gregory made only one run
and then went home for q lunch. II
