Know- ing the strength of that worthy's arm the discreet Mr. Severeid held firm| the far cushion, but when Goose heaved to the stands between home and third the s in. ridge was threatened on but two other occasions. Number 1 was in the fifth inning, when with one gone Mc- Manus doubled and the southpaw plunked Jacobson in the ribs.

Williams was stowed away, but McManus drew a free ticket and after Jacobson’s death the corners again became cranimed when Stan Harris was a bit | too ronchalant in essayving a force out with Severeid’s bounder. This menace was manacled when Rice got in front of Gerber’s stiff drive.

NEW YORK, May 14.—Fifty vears of base ball are being celebrated to- day on New York's Polo Grounds. Tt is the New York portion of the National League's golden jubilee cele- bration, which is being carried out in every city of the circuit. The Giants and Pirates will provide the diamond battle. Public officials and rulers of base ball, past and present, have been in vited, but attention is focussed upon the living old-timers. ‘Smiling” Mickey Welch of Holyoke, Mass., pitcher for the Giants in 1883, is smiling again, for he pitches the first ball of the battle between the Giants and Cincinnati Reds of 19 ‘Amos Rusie of the mighty arm, Dan Brothers, Dasher Troy, Joe Hornung, Tom York, John Morrill and John Bur- dock are among the guests for a pa- rade from centerfield to the plate.
