the town team beating tho pesly Pitts

that peculiar game called baseball. IN
vented by Abner Doubleday. this after
noon. and Flatbush staggering into third
place in the National League, there was
considerable excitement at the Wander
veer Crossing and the Bulls Head
Tavern tonight Some Of the critical
old timers. who saw the shindig over in
Squire Ebbets's pasture. held out that
the game was nothing moro than
roundera There Is much discussion.
1t was a rip snorting battle Just the
same and what with this. that and the
other thing happening in tho long after
noon. including Pittsburgh home run
by Ray Rohwer In the tenth, which ap-
parently won for the visitors and struck
a passing Holstein over in Bedford Lane.
1t was a record breaking tussle. Squire
Yager, who keeps the accounts for the
Flatbush club. emitted these statistics.

and Brooklyn nineteen, for total of
forty-four drives. Tho Pirates hit for

the Yager arithmetic Is correct. This

There Is much conversation about this.

Uncle Robbie's men pulled out the game
with a three run rally in the tenth.
Yes sir, there hasn't been so much

Old Man Olson. who tucked his whis-
Iters under his red shirt and forgot that
criclk in his back to SO out and do or
die for dear old Flatbush really ought to
get most OF the credit for the native
victory. The boys over at the Bulls
Head say that Ivan makes the short
stop of the Mutuals look like shin

winning rally with a two base drive to

bullet. but the impact sent them against
The old man already had banged out two
hits. There Is considerable discussion
about this, too.
Mooney Miller cracked tho ball to
Barnhardt who let II pass hence and
old man Olson held second. Grimes,
last of the long line OF, Flathush fling
ers, tried to sacrifice. but the so called
Corsairs would not let him. The be-
whiskered Adams decided to make
play for Olson at third and heaved the
ball into left field. Bigbee caught
the heaving fever and hurled his re-
coyery into the Brooklyn dugout.
Olson and Miller scored. tying the
game into knot. and Grimes got to
third. Nine fans who had walked all

the Buccaneers issued orders to pass

Griffith lifted a long fly to Rohwer--

We could go on and tell how the
Flatbush maulers maltreated Lo the

poor palefacc. walloped the home hurl-

We could tell how Brooklyn. with nine
runs In four innings. piled up lead OF
five counters and still could not hold 1t.
We might picture the anguish OF your
portly Uncle Robbie as he waddled about
the field Of carnage. directing his charg-
ing and retreating forces In this grand
demonstration of Mr.. Doubleday's game.
We might tell about the anguish Of

a sufficiently heartrending yarn. Here
