Baseball Is certain- a "ly un-American K^me and so far af a Washington I* concerned the game or B jresterdar was. an Ideal Washing-Ton h *amc. !I For spectacular plays, conspicuous h efforto and what should have been. the game of yesterday will be re- d corded in history as a contest not to P be equalled within tho annals of base- G ball sports. P To such baseball enthusiasts as 0 b H. Richardson. M. F. McKoel, W H h 1. Whitley. C. T. Leach. C. F. Bland c and Charles Flynn the people of this city will ever be indebted. Captain P Leach and CapUtn Whitley of the n rival teams were there from begin nlng to end with. the goods. They did not say much?so far as the out- d aider waa Sheer ned. If cne ap- G proaehed the* and asked if the !? game was to continue they smiling- 1: ly would reply?lemonade and Ice V water ia to . the rear?go and help i\ yourself. ii St - It takes a good warm day to -make p baseball what It should be?especial- t ly to the players-?and so far as yes- e ? 4s?da> was rtswwH ibw who wit- U noased the contest had a good share & ? r - - of tho m upou t y. Although - the game p was called at the end of'the seventh g inuiur'WUi ma Kort rmvoiaDla to. t Mitral Hard war* rompaar. tha II . mambara B? fflr WdKeal-lHahardaot; Hardware Company wanted the Tic- * rtcra to drew more blood. Notwithstanding the soft words used by Cap- n tola -Leach to quit Captain W. H. t Whitley wanted and demanded that a something more should be shown t them. For a tiiEe "thtjiga , were g equally and but for the timely advice o of the umpires and those who were 6 bettlpg op the final outcome, there 8 might hare been a short war. It did r fee I log good notwithstanding the ex- d tremc heat. t The game waa conspicuous for r . \ heavy hitting, faJUw-base running, tiW'ly errors, etc. Such baseball ar- L ? tlsts as C. H. Richardson. M. F Mr- a Keel, G E. Edwards, Frank McKccl, t "Fatty" Gardner, . and . others we I might mention, were the life of the 1 ' contest. They played great ball (?) <1 <A*o much so that every time they i faced tl\e pitcher th^y faned, to the n delight of the spectators. n To witness a baseball game, if it is ii a little warm and be provided with e free admission, free lemonade, free ice water, is qfilte an inducement. It s happened yesterday and don't any- f one think for a moment those who \ i' ?tood near to the firing line-aid not t take advantage of tho gratuioua t drinkables. As an example: John S Sampson got a terrible lash on the t side of the head by a foul ball and a from then on he waa given full away <! at both the lemonade and ioe water 1 backet. It is reported that 8ampeon 1 is to be given a free ticket to all fu- a > turQvf^n#%.al;th<t*lemin4M>grk1, Ho* got an awTul hit yesterday. For a a moment it was thought that he was c seriously hurt, but he came out from < under the wire all to the good. He t shook his head, gave a shout and s then aqualed to the motmd artist to pitch ball. To have seen such ball \ artist as C. H. Richardson and M. F. J McKeel play was.well worth the op- t portuhlty- 'C. H. Richardson does f not claim to be a batter, but be does bodfcl of Ala ability to occupy the * field. Yesterday he acted adroitly in t the center field catching (?) every- t thing -that went his wa|N Ridh- t some bouquet from hie lady admirers d after the conclusion of the game.

Ho has ball player. Every ball that came la way was de-reared and his throwlg to the bomc plate wait, spectacuir. He gare and took all things, be : fair ball or foul ball. Not a word Id he utter when the spectators aplauded him. * When a bystander inulred Wfiy fljis was bo lie was w Steered to Edwards you know Is the kg so at theTIrst Baptist church and as got to be there with the goods Sunday. So brilliant was Che.efr arts of Edwards that he gracefully etlred at the end of the fourth Ining and young. James McKecl coverd the bag next to home. One of the most brilliant efforts uricg the entire contest was Claud lardncr grablng a high fly in deep >ft fleld. As Gardner, more famlllarr known as '"fatty," gave the vigors a stunt of what is In him and uat as the lady friends of this cotnig artist.were beginning to applaud, oor "fatty""Gardner did the wrong king.
