In the "for men only” place were a few dozen *mall boys, and in the grand stand were a score of admiring wives, sisters, aons, daughters and friends of the contest ants. But what they saw will long be remem bered. The Georgian staff played ball that would have made Con nie Mack's brigade J blush aloud. Thompson afterIbtMiU. had the speed of a Matthewson, the curves of Waddell and the headwork of a Hahn. Hub Hud dleston did stunts be hind the bat that made Archer look like a be ginner. Press Huddle- ston at second played ball that would force him Into professional baseball If he weren't in politics—and Kid Harris! Well, the kid was all to the mustard! His fielding had Its faulti, but on the coaching line he was the works. The Newsies were never In the hunt In the fifth Inning they took down five runs, but that did them little good, for The Geor gians cut dff the supply and nothing happened thereafter. Walter Taylor, of The Jour nal, who had agreed to umpire, lost his nerve at the critical mordent and Chief Joyner was pressed ^nto sendee. The chief umpired a great game and gave general satisfaction. One .Incident marred the'game. Just at the close Lee Smith, who was doing the Jim Fox stunt on first, made a desperate stab at a wide one toward the bag and a finger on his right hand was broken. Some Juvenile Mc- Gann was called In to finish the game and the next man up batted to him and the game ended with a pfetty double. The News has challenged for Our another game, but It Is proba- twirier, ble that they will be required to go out and "get them a rep utation” before being given another chance.
