7. Vfx? THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 15 SUNDAY MOTCNTNXx. SEPTEMBER 26, 1897. ENGLISH CRICKETERS REDEEMED THEMSELVES EVERYBODY WW WEjWO'TP GREEN IRISH-AMERICAN DAY ONE OF THE GRANDEST EVENTS OF -THE TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL H.

EGAN. Clarke brought np 70. The Englishmen were scoring fast, and had changed their cautious tactics. Hemingway hit E. W.

Clarke for two 4s and a 2 on successive balls, bringing up 80 on the telegraph. In the face of this rapid scoring, the fielding of the Phlladelphiaus was sharp and clean. From 80 to 90 the score mounted more slowly, the Clarke brothere still having charge of the bowling. Warner put E. W.

Clarke to leg for 3 and P. Clarke suffered to the extent of 4, -through his brother allowing a cut to go through him to the ropes. Ninety-eight was on the boards when Lester took the ball from E. W. Clarke.

Hemingway got a single from the new bowler's second but the English captain played out the over with extreme care. He was not to be tempted with the slows. The century was brought up by a drive for 4 by Hemingway oft P. Clarke. At this point a misunderstanding between the two batsmen nearly resulted In the captain being run out, but Noble fielded the ball to tflo wrong wicket.

With the toltal at 105, Thaver evoked the enthusiasm of tbe crowd by stopping a hard drive from Hemingway's bat with one hand. Warner next drove Lester to the ropes for 4, and made his individual score 50 by a hit to square-leg for a single. Our Fielding Weakened Badly. With the total at 113, Hemingway drove one of Lester's slows into Thayer's hands at long on. To the surprise of all, that usual-lv brilliant fielder dropped the ball.

On the very next ball Noble refused a hard once chance at point. The Haverfordian was in lard luck, and the fielding of the local players was wretched. King also came into his share of the crowd's censure by dropping a catch from the liberal Hemingway Just behind point. The lucky Englishman next gave a chance to Scattergood at the wicket, and this time the batsman had to go. The telegraph showed 123-2-56.

J. R. Head now Joined his captain and opened his account with a cut for a single. Warner followed with a two to square leg. The new-comer opened his shoulders and drove Lester under the ropes past the main club house, bringing up 130.

Another 4 from Head, followed by two 2s, advanced the total to 140. A wide by Percy Clarke was followed Immediately by a wicket, the English captain being also caught by Scattergood. HIb Individual total was 51. Telegraph, 141-3-51. Jessop, the hard-hitter, who has not hit much on this side of the Atlantic, came next.

At 144 E. W. Clarke took the ball from Lester, and the Cantab, evidently feeling what was due to his waning reputation, put the new bowler out of the grounds for 6. The score had reached 158, when Jessop went out to hit at a wide ball from Percy Clarke. He missed the ball and was quickly stumped by the brilliant Haverford wicket-keeper.

Total, 158-4-11. Leveson Gower now Joined Head and made a single off Clarke. A bad piece of fielding by Cregar yielded Head 3 runs, and the same batsman then hit P. Clarke to long leg for 4, making the total 166. At this point in the game King went on at his tl.n ImiKp end.

No. 1,716. BLACK. tbe hearts of the old grizzly veterans of tbe South to the tendemesB of childhood. Father Ryan, the Tom Moore of Dixie, whose spirit shall keep watch over tbe folded stars and bars until tbe morning of the resurrection.

"Ladles and gentlemen, again I give you welcome thrice welcome." Hon. ratrlck Walsh, of Augusta, followed In an exhaustive address, in which he spoke of the resources of the South, and the part the Irish-American had played in developing these resources. Said Mr. Walsh, in closing: "The Republic of these United Stntes is the best and the freest that has ever been devised by human wisdom or vouchsafed to mankind under tbe providence of God. Since He first said, 'let there be this government of 'the people, for the people and by the people" is God's best gift to man.

"Tbe Irish and the Irish-Americans have been actors and factors in this country for many generations. There Is not a battlefield in the war of the Revolution, from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, in which Iris blood has not been shed for liberty, and In which Irish valor and patriotism have not been nobly illustrated. "Irishmen are never Indifferent to the rights of self-government, nor traitors to tbe cause of liberty. In the war of 1X12 and In the Mexican war they performed their duty. "The Irish in their native land and tbe American-Irish have fmiKht a good fight and they have kept the faith.

In the pages following I present as best I can the glorious deeds of tbe men of Irish birth or lineage. The record of the American-Irish shows that they have performed their duty In peace and In wur. It is a memorial of their fidelity to principle and of their sacrifices for liberty. Monuments of marble and brass may crumble and corrode, but the history of Irlsh-Amerl-lcan valor and patriotism will remain for all time. "In tbe war between tbe States they stood for tbe right as they saw it, and fought for their principles and their convictions with a patriotic fortitude and heroic valor never surpassed in ancient or modern times.

From the shot at Sumter that was heard around the world until the Confederate banner was furled forever in Imperishable glory at Appomattox, the Irish and the Irisb-Amerlcans of the North and of the South participated In and confronted each other in battle arrny. They fought In the mightiest contest of all the ages, for their principles, and for their altars nnfl their firesides. "So great is the love of the Irish people for the government of the United States that they stand ready, like their Illustrious countryman, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, to sacrifice their property and tbelr lives in its defense. Next to their God they love the principles of free government as exemplified lu this great Republic, and they would freely give their hearts' blood to defend It. The government of the people Is the Hitht of the world and the hope of humnnlty.

The prayer of the Irishman Is that It may live and flourish and be a blessing to mankind until the heavenly bodies fall from tbelr orbits and until time shall be merged Into eternity." President Wrenn next Introduced Hon. John F. KInnerty, of Chicago, who delighted the audience with his splendid oratory. The Rev. George Pepper, of Ohio, delivered an impassioned appeal for Ireland, taking for his topic, "Ireland's Liberty Springs from Her Martyrs' Blood." Mrs.

Anna Dolln Spence, of Greenville, closed the programme with the recitation. "Down on the Irish Coast." Among the honored guests who occupied seats on the platform with President Wrenn and Governor Taylor and staff were Governor Roger Woicott, of Massachusetts, bis wife and the members of bis staff; Postmaster Thomas, of Boston, and Hon. Benton Mc-Millln.

A BRILLIANT SECOND INNING Klng'i Bawling Vu Deadly tn the First Inning and He Retired Nine Visitors for a Total of a Trifle Less Then Three Buns Each Be Then Was Forced to Retire From Bowling The Britishers Became Well Set and Made the Big Total of 885 Runs for Four One of the finest exhibitions of cricket ever given in this city was witnessed at Elmwood yesterday In the first of the test matches between the Gentlemen of Philadelphia and Pelbain F. Warner's team of English amateurs, and before stumps were drawn for the day those critics who have so loudly been proclaiming their opinion that the visitors were decidedly second class In point of merit were quite willing to admit their mistake.

When stumps were drawn on Friday even-the Englishmen had lost four good wickets without rubbing off a single one of the 242 runs scored by the local team, and when play was resumed yesterday the remaining six wickets did not make the semblance of a stand, and the whole side was out before luncheon for the paltry total of 63. But there was still a lot of fight in the plucky Britishers, and in the follow on. which became necessary on account of their heavy deficit, they started to play the game for all It was worth, and by grand uphill batting actually wiped off the deficit, and before stumps were drawn for the day had secured a lead of 106 runs with but four wickets down. By their grand work at the bat the Englishmen completely changed the complexion of the game, which js now Just as likely to be won by one side as the other. The Play in Detail.

Promptly at 11.15 the Philadelphia team took the field and were followed by J. U. Tonge and J. K. Head, the latter being the not-out batsman.

E. W. Clarke opened the bowling from the far end, Head putting the first ball away to square leg for the Englishmen first run. On the last ball of the over, Tonge also scored a very short run, the ball being quickly fielded by Thayer. King's first over yielded a boundary a neat oruw by Tonge.

On the next over of Clarke's, Coatcs, at cover point, saved a boundary bv a clever one-hand stop. The fielding of the Phlladelphiaus at this point was quick and sharp, while the Englishmen were batting with the greatest care. A break came, however, when the total had reached 10, Tercy Clarke missing an easy catch iti the slips oft the last ball of King's third over, Tonge being the lucky batsman. King, however, was not long In obtaining his revenge, fooling Tonge on a cbauge of pace and bowling hiin on a ball that was pitched almost full. The telegraph showed 12-3-10.

G. L. Jessop was the next batsman, and the spectators acknowledged the big hitter's prowess by a ripple of applause. Head got King away through the slips for two, and a leg-bye increased the Englishmen's small score by two more. Jessop played his first ball from Clarka with care, and hit the second to square leg for a double.

King's next over yielded nine runs a three by Jessop, four and two from Head'B bat. Cregar brought out the applause of the crowd by a brilliant hit of fielding and saving a boundary Just at the grandstand ropes. The total stood at 31 when the demon bowler once more made havoc with the stumps; Jessop was the victim. He hit hard at the ball, but failed to connect, and his middle peg was sent flying from Its terrestrial resting place. The scoreboard showed 31-6-7.

Leverson-Gower came next, and scored a single from his first ball one of King's "Indian specials." Head in the meanwhile added two singles to his score, one from each bowler. Another wicket soon went down, however. King again made a deceptive change In his pace, and Head, who had played very steadily, was bowled In much the same way that Tonge had been by a slow ball tossed all the way up to the batsman 34-7-14. Wickets Fall Fast. It.

A. Bennett signalized his appearance by hitting the fast bowler to square leg for two. Leverson-Gower put Clarke under the club house ropes for four, bringing up 40 on the scoreboard. But still the rot went on. for, with but a single added, King sent down an express, which upset Leverson-Gower's middle stump, and the telegraph showed the astonishing figures, 41-8-5 figures unprecedented In an English International match.

W. McG. Hemingway was England's tenth hope. He played out the over from King in aggressive style and saw his parner lift Clarke to the ropes for four. Bcnuett, In attempting to drive King, in the next over, put up a high one Just over Lester's head at mid on.

The fielder lost the ball In the sun. Hemingway off-drove Clarke past the grandstand, bringing up the half-century on the board. But still the wickets fell and still King was the destructive bowler to whose credit the wickets went down. Bennett attempted to drive King, but only got the ball as far as Captain Brockie nt mid off, and there the sphere rested 52-9-10. Bull was the last Briton, but the end came soon, for after Hemingway had placed two boundaries to his credit, the Irresistible King found his way to the wicket, and the Englishmen's total was 63.

King had taken 9 wickets for 25 rnns, 8 being bowled! Another record broken nt Elmwood an English eleven being compelled for the first time against an American team to follow their Innings. The Britisher Follow On. At 1 o'clock the Englishmen followed on, Captain Warner and Chlr.nery being the batsmen to defend England's forlorn hope. Kirg opened from the club house end to Chlnnery. who scored a single on tho second ball the over.

E. W. Clark resumed Ills bowling the far end, and Captain Warner got hlro away for single on the first ba'l Coates was again In evidence In King's second over by a pretty one-baud stop at cover point. The over yielded a single for Warner. Both batsmen wore playing with the greatest care, their evident object being to keep their wickets up and wait for dinner tud the runs to come.

At 1.13 King was given a rest, Percy Clarke going on at the club house end. E. W. Clarke bowled a maiden, and play was stopped for lunch. The total was 7.

C'bln-nery, Warner, leg-bye, 1. Play was resumed at 2.08. and Captain Warner, feeling much better after lunch, dispatched King's first ball to the leg boundary for 4, sending up the doub'e figures on the score board. A risky single through the slips followed. Clarke bowled a maiden and King followed suit.

By singles tbe score erupt up to 15, and then Cbinnery cut Clarke to the grand stand for 4. Warner put King to leg for a like number, which, with 4 byes, brought the total up to 27. With the scorn at this point, Chlnnery cut under one from E. W. Clarke, and Wood caught the ball nt short slip 27-1-8.

Hemingway came next, and Captain Warner drove King to the ou for 3, Lester ust Rtopplng It before it reached the ropes. Total, 30. Hemingway put King to leg for 2. Captain Warner made a single off Clarke and Hemingway pulled him around to leg for 3. The same batsmen then cut King to the ropes for 4.

and followed It up with a like stroke for 3, Thayer saving the boundary. Total, 42. Kuns Come Very Fast. Warner next got a single off Clarke and two boundaries off King's expresses, Swiding tip 50 on the boards. Another 4 followed for the English captain, and the fast gathering Saturday crowd applauded.

They were glad to see the Englishmen getting rum. Hemingway, encouraged by his captain's example, cut Clarke to tbe grand stand, and followed with a lopy single, for whioh Captain Brockie made a great effort. Sixty was up and the bowling was changed. Percy Clarke going on in King's place. Hemingway let out at E.

W. Clarke and drove the ball on top of the main club house, the sphere lacking but a few feet of clearing the building. Another 4 by Warucr oft BY LAV1NIA Special Teleffrara to The Times. Nashville, September 25. Irish-American Day was one of the greatest events of the Tennessee Centennial.

It has ever been said of the Irish that- they rule every country save their own, bnt when they took possession of the White City Tuesday they took possession of their own, for from tower and turret, from window and balcony, floated the flag of Erin, and everybody was "a wearing o' the green." Some time ago there wag organised in this city tbe Irish-American Centennial Association. Tbe preamble of the association sets forth that "the pages of Tennessee history are filled with the deeds of Irish-American citizens, telling of their patriotism, Intrepidity and Indomitable courage in war, statesmanship in council and excellence of citizenship In the peaceful pursuits of life, thus portraying tbe sterling qualities of this race of people and relating their part in the history of the State; and In view of tbe leading and important part thus taken by them In the history of the State, it Is eminently proper that their achievements should be celebrated at the State's centennial."

It was not only a great day for the Centennial but a great day In the history of Irlsh-Amerlcanlsm, since It will serve to keep alive that proud spirit of patriotism which Inspires every true son of Erin who has found a home upon American soil. Bishop Gallar, In a letter to President Wrenn expressing regret at his inability to attend the convocation, said: "The tlory of the Irish-Americans Is that, while they have never forgotten their race and tbe honor dne to It, they hove fostered and perpetuated no foreign customs nor prejudices, but have given themselves unreservedly and with their whole hearts to the loyalty of American citizenship. Therefore, it, is simply historic truth that the Irish-Americans have contributed more than any class of our people to the practical realization of free government on this continent, and to the Americanizing of American institutions.

The record all the way from the Mecklenburg Declaration to the Wnutauga Constitution; from Andrew Jackson to our own time is unequaled for splendid patriotism, and It is a precious heritage to us to be in any way connected with it." It Is such sentiments as these that the gathering of Irish-American citizens will engender, and what sentiments could be nobler? President Wrenn's own splendid address was a magnificent tribute to the valor of his race. He said In opening: "When I stand In the presence of this vast multitude and look Into the eyes of the chivalry and beauty of America, as typified in tbe Irish-American race, and stand face to face with the men of that blood, whose valor, daring and dauntless courage sustained the strong and ever true arm of George Washington in the establishment of this land of liberty, this land where the humblest citizen Is granted the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience; where freedom of religious and political opinion is made the basic principle of the Constitution, this land, the borne of the brave and the free, I realize the Importance of the celebration of Irish-American Day at the centennial anniversary of the Volunteer State, our own Tennessee. "The youth and beauty, patriotism and force of our beloved State the borne of Jackson, Polk, Houston, Crockett, Adams and hosts of other patriots, statesmen and Irish-Americans true, and the manly strength, the sons and daughters of our sister States nver emphasized their love of truth and all that is great and noble in the lives of men who shape tbe affairs of States and nations for their people's happiness and welfare in a more Important and effective way than by giving their presence to this celebration, commemorative of Irish-American character, patriotism and citizenship in the affairs of Tennessee, tbe American colonies and United States of America. "In the sense of our celebration Irish-Americans are those who emigrated from Ireland to the American colonics and the United States of America and became citizens of our government. It embraces their descendants and all citizens of Irish blood of the American colonics and Federal Union who adhered to and believe In the principles of our government.

That the men of this race and blood made their Impress indelibly upon the history of our conutry, and In a manner entitling them to enduring fame, none enn gainsay. In patriotic love for their country they gave their lives and their fortunes. They spurned the offered bribes of the British and of all tbe soldiers and officers of the continental army they ever had and held the esteem and confidence of the Father of his Country. This tribute entitles every Irish-American to wear for all time the laurel wreatu of victory, honor and fame, and forever entitles him td defend the flag of Ills country and carry Its spotless folds, free from dishonor, emblematic of the highest and best government." There followed a brilliant recital of names and deeds getting forth the glorious achievements of Irish-American citizens. It was a felicitous selection on the part of the programme committee that resulted in Governor Taylor's delivering the address of welcome to tbe convocation, for "there's only one Bob Taylor," shouted an eutbusi astic Irish-American In tbe audience.

"If I were a sculptor." said Governor Tay lor, "I would chisel from the marble my ideal of a hero. I would make it the figure of an Irishman, sacrificing bis hopes and his life on the altar of his country, and I would carve on Its pedestal the name of Emmet. "If I wem a painter I would make the canvas eloquent with the deeds of the bravest people who ever lived, whose proud spirit no power can ever conquer, and whose loyalty and devotion to the hope of free government no tyrant can ever crush. And I would write under the picture, 'Ireland. "If I were a poet, I would melt the world to tears with the pathos of my song.

I won'd touch the heart of humanity with the mournful threnody of Ireland's wrongs and Erin's woes. I would weave the shamrock and the rose Into garlands of glory for the Emerald Isle, the land of martyrs and memories, the cradle of heroes, the nursery of liberty. "Tortured in dungeons and murdered on scaffolds, robbed of the fruits of their sweat and toll, scourged by famine and plundered by the avarice of heartless power, driven like the leaves of autumn before the keen winter winds, this sturdy race of Erin's sons and daughters have been scattered over the face of tbe earth, homeless only in the land of their nativity, but princes and lords In every other land where merit is the measure of the man. "Where is tbe battlefield that has not been glorified by Irish courage and baptized with Irish blood? And where is the free country whose councils have not been strengthened by Irish brains, and whose wealth has not been Increased by Irish brawn? "Wherever the flag of war flutters the spirit of Irish chivalry is there, pauting for the battle and eager for the charge. Whether It be Wellington leading tbe allied armies at Waterloo, or Ney following the eagles of France; whether It be Sam Houston crushing the armies of Santa Anna at San Jacinto, or Davy Crockett courting denth at the Alamo; whether It be Andrew Jackson at New Orleans or Stonewall Jackson at Chancellors-vllle; whether It be Phil Sheridan in the sad dle riding like a god of war In the thickest of the fight, or Pat Cleburne leading the forlorn hope and dying at the cannon's mouth on the breastworks of the roe, it is tue same intrepid, unconquerable spirit of sublime courage which flows like a stream of inspiration from the heart of old Ireland to fire the souls of the world's greatest leaders, and to burn forever on the altars of liberty.

"Wherever the banner of peace is unfurled over the progressive English-speaking nations of the earth, I his same Irresistible Celtic blood has ever been present, Rhaplug the destinies of Empires and Republics. "It warmed the heart of Edmund Burke, whose brain was a mighty loom which wove tapestries of glory for England and for mankind, i It Jnsplred the souls of Swift and Sheridan! whose dreams will linger In English literature forever, like the fragrance of roses that are faded and gone. It lighted up the brain of Oliver Goldsmilh. who broke out in song sweeter than the song of the nightingale. It kindled the soul of Tom Moore into flame, and like an angel of IlKht from the realms of dreams, he swept the burning strings of Erin's harp, and lo: the whole world thrilled with Its melody.

The body of Tom Moore was dust long ago. but his spirit lives In his songs, and breathes more hope In every Irish heart and happiness in every Irish home. "If I were asked why our Southern people are so impulsive, I would answer It Is not so much the effect of climate as It Is the predominance of Irish blood In our veins. It was this that fired the Irish heart of Patrick Henry to preach secession from English wrath and the power of English arms. "It was this that nerved our Irish-American President, James K.

Polk, to have Mexico thrashed before breakfast. It was this that woke tbe lion in the Irish bosom of John C. Calhoun and impelled him to thunder the doctrine of State's rights under tbe Constitution, and it was this which finally put the North on the pension list and the South ou crutches. "An Irishman was once shipwrecked at sea, and floated on a broken spar to the shore of a strange Island. He dragged himself, half dead, from the water and confronted one of tbe natives.

'And have you a government he asked. 'Yes, replied the native. 'Well, then, begorra, I'm agin "The Irish impulse Is first the achievement of liberty and next the determination to accomplish, at all hazards, whatever be undertakes to do. "An Irishman once came from Cork to America and hired himself to a farmer. The farmer gave him a box of axle grease and ordered him to go and grease the wagon.

In about three hours Pat returned, weary and dripping with sweat. 'Where have you been, asked the farmer. 'I have been greasing tho wagon, your 'And did yon get it greo6ed? asked the farmer. 'Yes. sir; I got It greased all over except the things the wheels run on.

I couldn't get to "Ladies and gentlemen, my Irish Impulse is about to plunge me Into a digression. I am about to grease this glorious occasion all over except the things the wheels run on. The delightful task assigned to me is to give welcome. In the name of the Commonwealth of Tennessee, to, this splendid gathering of Irish-Americans. I am especially pleas; to perform this task, because Irish blood runs In my veins.

My great-grandmother was an Irishwoman and spoke the Irish brogue; her pigs grunted Irish and her turkey gobblers strutted like an Irish policeman and gobbled In the Irish tongue, and she had au old and be was Irish, too. "I am proud; of the opportunity to give yori welcome, because I am proud of my Irish blood, but I am prouder still that we are all American citizens. For under the ample folds of our flag, the accident of birth is neither the passport to power nor a bar to the highest positions of trust and honor. "Lincoln began life as a rail-splitter. Grant as an bumble tanner, Aridrew Johnson as an apprentice to a tailor and Garfield as a mule-driver on the towpath in Ohio.

But these children of poverty all rose to tho Presidency of the Republic. I have beard It said that such men as these were self-made, but It Is not true. Clod Almighty made them and gave them their glorious opportunities In this land of democracy and liberty. There Is only one self-made man in this Union of whom I have knowledge, and that Is Dr. Mary Walker and she Is Irish, too.

"I trust my Irish-American friends will pardon me for leaving out of this short address the long list of Irish names whose noble deeds have Illuminated all the pages of American history. It Is enough to say that without our Irish names the sky of our national glory would lose half Its stars. And yet, how can I give you a complete welcome without giving utterance in the same breath to the names of Grady and Father Ryan. Grady, the impassioned Southern orator, whose eloquence calmed the spirit of sectional hate and wooed the nation Into the fond embrace of fraternal love and peace. Grady, who, like the morning star, blazed for a moment on the horizon and was then lost forever from mortal eyes in the light of God's eternal day, "Father Ryan, our own Irish hero and poet-prlcst, whose mournful melodies of despairing love for tbe cause that was lost and the Aug that was furled forever still melts TOUCHSTONE And so we ripen for an hour, But would you withstand all decay, Go to the Six Little Tailors they've power To make your clothes such an array That Death itself will straight admire Their $20 worsted suits With envy will himself expire, Excuse my slang but they are "beauts."

Amateurs on the Diamond Dick Corcoran never played first base better than he hns done this season. Yet some people say Uncle Bonny is too old. Seeds evidently was out for revenge, and he got it, striking out eleven of the Quaker City Wheelmen and allowing them but five hits. Black bad the strengthened All-Scholastic team guessing at Mt. Holly.

They secured but six hits, but managed to get in three unearned ruus. The finish of the Baugor-Easton game was a treat. Bangor scoring three runs and Boston four, the final score being eight to seven In favor of Bangor. With the return of Johnnie O'Rourke, the Crescent team has been revived and will play several games. John is always at work until the first snow storm.

Fisher's catch, on which he made a double piny to Corcoran, was as line a niece of work as has been seen anywhere, and deserved all the cheers which were given. Brother Bill is greatly disappointed that Media and Brandywine are not coining together again. He had his eye on a tine property which he desired to buy. George Nelllns has been taking things easily this season and has not played as many giunes as in former years. George Is still one of tbe best hitters lu the amateur ranks, Cuumiings played a great guinc at Media.

Any one who has played on the Media grounds this season will appreciate his work. It is one of the worst diamonds in this State. The Cuban Giants exploded Cy Voorhees nnd bis scheme of college players at West Chester next year. Cy quickly slipped away in the night, and did not even wait for bis bicycle. The A.

A. having finished their base boll season, are devoting tbelr attention to foot-bail. Thev ploy the Princeton scrub ou October 2, at Camden, and a greot game is expected. The first base rooters at West Chester have no respect for age. and throw nt a gray-headed veteran ns quickly us nt a youngster.

Couldn't blame them much on the lbth, at that. After the close of League season, the Beverley Veterans will have the services of several of the players, as usual. These games are very enjoyable, and always make a fitting close to their seasons. With the score IS to 1) against them the Glrord College boys went In fur their ninth Inning and scored seven runs. Plenty of nerve there.

The Clinton A. C. R. are not so well seasoned as the youngsters. The Cubans hit I.uckey hard, their total base being 111.

White. Nelson and Will-lams secured home runs. Although Munch Chunk made five runs in the second inning the Giants finally beat them out, to 7. The Mohicans disbanded after the Inst game at West Chester, but were not escorted to the train by a brass baud. They were too tired tout lend the banquet tendered them by John Chalfsnt and his brother Tom at Kcn-nett Square.

Saturday, the 18th seemed to be a bad day for some of the veterans. Joe Mulvey and others piled up three errors In their games Tills does not mean that the "others" all consider themselves in the same class as Mulvey. Mose. you missed your chance. If yoii had been there, another seat would have had to be made, but the date would have been a few years more recent than that oil yours.

As It Is. the shelving has been postponed until next year. The game between the G. O. P.

and Gentlemen of Ridley Park has been postponed until October 2. Captain Heveuey has made great preparations to close bis season in a fitting manner. Cunningham will be ou hand and will try to beat the record for short dashes. Dallas felt as though he hod bought a Job lot of gold bricks when be paid off the Mohican players after the Broiidyw ine game. It was frightful.

Dallas, but remember that this was tiie first year that you have been uble to give Brandywine any kind of argument. Pie was served In Delaw-oro and Chester counties on the 18th, Clermont and the Mohicans being the victims. Tom Cutnpliell states that the only way the Brundywiucs were gotten rid of In the eighth liming was by sending up for the fire companies to come and put them out. Frank Highley has finished his season. His work this year has been far In advance even of his excellent games of the past years.

Frank is a very valuable man, for, besides being one of our best catchers, Is a good hitter and an excellent base ruutier. He will be in great demand next year. The Very Trouble.

A 3 hit off King's second over by Head tied the Philadelphia's score. The same batsman then made a lucky 4 through the slips, the ball going Just out of Wood's reach. Total, 180. A 2 and two boundary hits followed by 4 byes made the total 199. Leveson Gower got the runs and King's analvsls suffered.

The same batsman then gave Wood a very difficult chance at short slip, resulting In 2 runs and tbe bringing up of 200 on the score board. Percy Clarke now relieved King, the latter's bowling seeming to have lost its terrors for the Britons. At 210 Head changed his bat and drove P. Clarke to the club bouse for 4. Two more for Head and a pretty cut by Leveson-Gower brought up 220.

Then Head made his half-century by a single oft P. Clarke. The two batsmen seemed very much at home with the bowling, Head especially timing the ball with effect. The certainty of a big Philadelphia victory which the morning had shoue on was perceptibly lessening as the afternoon- wore on. With the total at 233.

Captain Brockie changed the Clarke brother partnership and put on Cregar at the club bouse end. The latter bowler suffered from an overthrow of Snattcrgood's which gave Leveson-Gower 5 runs and brought the total to 238. Lester went on in E. W. Clarke's place, tempting the batsmen with his slows.

Levcson-Gower hit for 3 and 1, tying the Philadelphian's first total, with but 4 wick ets down. Two hundred and fifty went up by a good cut to the grand stand from Leve-son-Gower's bat off Lester's slows. Time Played Leveson-Gower next Joined the half-century scorers by a short single to mid on, nnd' Head roused the crowd by driving Cregar to the ropes for three successive fours. Total 270, with Head's individual score at 78, the highest of the match. Not satisfied with this rnnld scorlne.

the batsman next turned his attention to E. W. Clarke and added two more boundaries to his total off the Germnntown howler. When the total had reached 280. King went on In Cregar's place, 4 runs resulting from the over.

At 5.15 the two batsmen were still In front of tho stumps and the total had reached 285 The game will be resumed promptly at 11.30 A. M. to-morrow morning. The score: PHILADELPHIAN'S. H.
