About twenty more tiers on the Brush stadium grandstand might necks to view the mix-ups. Harry Stevens would have to order an ocean Sea of coffee, a string of frankfurters longer than the Atlantic of pop, cable and a Mt. McKinley of peanuts. But as to yesterday. It was base- ball tight as the skin on the dome of an Egyptian mummy. It was, 1 think, the fastest name played on the Polo Grounds this season—one hour and twenty-five minutes. The Cubs got only twenty-six chances at bat in nine mnings, the Giants tycuty-seven in eight. ‘ Jesse Barnes hud ‘EM looking like a legless man trying to walk a tight- rope.
