The Braves razzed our Hopefuls ruthlessly in all sectors of the lot, held their lead of the league by the victory and from their shanty arose the afternoon long the noises of great merriment. A bunch 0’ pretty fresh guys! And the party at which our ohild was sent out to do its very best was such an enormous party. The at- tendance was by several thousands larger than the opening day of the season that brought 32,000 to the Poto Grounds, Nearer 40,000 yesterday. At close the gates of the park, then necessary also to summon reserve afternoon when the team played at the old park, pecause the smoke cloud from the mills in the valleys flvated over and obgcured the sun. On one of those oceasions Chicago threatened to Protest the result. The game wus in the sixth or seventh inning, with Pittsburgh leading, and the darkness was so intense the batters scarcely could see the outfielders. Chicago had two on bases and two out when the batter drove a long fly to left Yield. Fred Clarke went out after the ball—and disappeared entirely from sight. The umpire, who was on the infield, ran far out past the shortstop to watch, and he allowed the catch and then called the game, 2ithough Chicago claimed Clarke \vver got, near the ball. One of the famous instances of a game being called was in the old Northwestern League. In a morning | game, with the home team winning and the visitors having two out in the first half of the fifth, the umpire, | a fellow named Brannon, glanced up to learn the cause of the dimming, light and saw a heavy shadow over | ithe face of the sun. He immediately | jcalled the game on account of dark- | ,|ness and left the grounds, declaring isted | hat ft was an eclipse and that the .|ght would return soon, were trying | to kid him. Brannon denied the story | for years, but he became famous as the fellow who called a game on ac-| count of an eclipse. | Perhaps the queerest case of the| kind occurred in the Southern! in the Big Show and gone back, had spent a riotous night and reached .|the grounds feeling rather wabbly, | onty to be sent in to pitch. | ‘The game was at Memphis and the | day was hot, even for laté summer in Memphis. Taylor worked and per- spired, perspired and worked, and, at the end of the sixth inning, he had perspired so heavily that tho umpire | stopped play on account of wet grounds. | Next! | Thad Barker's feat was even more | remarkable. Thad was an old-time as a good fellow than as a | player. When he got through as a player he found a job umpiring and he was working in Omaha. The ame was a close one, with St. Joe leading when a telegram reached the grounds addressed to Thad and was deliv- ere to him as Omaha was coming to bat for the last time. Thad opened the telegram, read it, and, jerking off his protector, called: Jett Smith Stops je Third PARIS, May 10.—Jeff Smith of Bay- onne stopped Balzac, the French mid- dleweight champion, in the third round of their scheduled fifteen-round bout the biggest crowd since Moran Johneon here, attending. “Ladies and gentlemen, game called.” Then he sprinted for the dressing roomn, followed by angry players and fans. That he escaped being mobbed was due to the fact most of the spec- tators imagined the umpire had re- celved news of the death of some relative. As a matter of fact it was a message telling him he had in- herited $75,000—and he retired from baseball in record time. HOW THE NEW RULES ARE WORKING. ‘The new rules are not working out well. Jack Heydler has asked Ban Johnson to wipe out the rule govern- ing the dead ball, on the grounds that it is not important enough to mi up for the arguments and protests that follow each decision that the a}ball hit the bat accidentally, ‘The freak pitching rule is working flout fairly well, although the chief result kas tion to place a premium on the fellow who is keen enough to emcape getting caught.

What kind of visi- tors are these who not only ‘up their little hosts but also put ex tra padlocks on the cellar they look- ed ‘em in? In two mad innings—the second and eighth—the thing was done. The while We batted stumblingly and in the finai innings with nothing more than the hope of saving Ourselves from a shutout and even that wa: to 1, scarcely tells the story of the extra hard sting in the flail that fioged US. With Toney in the box in the out rageous second, Cruise got a walk and Holke hopped it for a single to centre. Boeckel (you lay off on us you big stiff!) tripled into deep right field, scoring Cruise and Hoke Doyle did a dandy job of snapping up Maranville’s slasher and throwing him out at first with a speed and precision that held Boeckel at third But Gowdy put a smart bunt righ in front of the plate as his eud of a perfect squeeze play that Boeoke) completed with a gallop across the plate. There's where They got the first three of their seven. Now, if you'd itke to see how they got their other four tn the eighth but, honest, my advice is to shu your eyes. The spectacle to bc aroused in your mind's eye is to sad—too sad, mon buddy, to picture Qh, well, all right, if you think you can stand it: After the second, Nehf had re placed Toney and had managed, by a considerable show of form, to make the Braves behave up to this wofu ighth. The riot started when Pow piled the pill into centre fohowed by Pick’s sacrifice, Hehf to K and Larry Doyle's fumble of Mann’ grounder. It not only reaistere< Mann at first but Powell on thir and then Sullivan singled to rigl and Holke singled to left and score Mann and Boeoke! hiffed it for an other left single that threw Burnse on the back of his bloomers as he tried to handle it, sending Sullivan with a glad foot along from third and Maranvilie richt after it bounced a cracker off Kelly's glove, scorine |Holke.
