It looked for all the world like’a geometrical figure that some great giant had cut in the grass, and after a while, when the players had come on the ground and some white figures sprang out on a@ great black space to the south that somebody sald was the score, it really seemed as if the proposition had come to life and was proving Itself to the best of its ability. The Mrst thing I thought was that I liked the New York players the best because their white uniforms are so much prettler than the blue-gray of the Brooklyn team and make a much more effective contrast with the green sod, the black and white crowds and the dull gray sheets reefed Uke so many sails above the high fences. I aid not know that the game had be- gun until all the people around began to shout. The girl next to me got up on a seat and waved her handkerchief, and her escort called out “Good boy, Jack!” and hammered on the floor with both feet and with his cane. When the girl sat down I asked her what it was all about She looked at me scornfuily, amazetlly, and then phe said: “Why, don't you see?” I confessed that I didn't see, so after m brief consultation with her escort sho said: second half of this inning will begin in a minute and at ithe end of it you must stand up.” j Tn the next few minutes a new that, | a very tall one, with a fi on the field and began to piteh, ‘Oh, there's McGinnity!
