Two clubs of the Twilight Baseball
league lined up on the diamond lnut
evening for the first time. There ii.ny
te finer looking millers and nobler r.n
pearlng millionaires on earth, but If
o they did not come inside the ball
grounds last night. The verdict of
rue cheering thousands of the grvi-i
s'.and as they enfiladed with defiance
breathing banners was with the Mil
lers for they were nattily dressed In
navy blue while the Millionaires came
lugging along any old pick-up. The
Millionaires were , most successful
though, In almost everything; for they
got more failures In home runs, more
guying from the brass-throated fans
whose hoarse commands rent the very
sky; they got also a very fine nest of
goose eggs and some sore arms.
It Is worth a trip half way round
the globe to see that giant Frees pitch.
He poises on one heel, looks anxious
ly toward heaven a moment and then
catapults a ball toward the people
who are watching while the million
aire writes sign language In the air
with his bat.
, tut Fred Meyers Is the artist. His
spit balls are the latest exhibition of
deoUfle discovery In the national
game. .Webster's dictionary describes
a spit bail thus;-- -- -
"A ball produced by moistening one
side of the ball with saliva. It is said
to'llave the hand with greater speed
than when dry and to lake a more un
certain course."
This Is a literal fact, for It is doubt
ed if. the La Grande cashier had any
Idi a wheri? tiie ball was going aft'T it
leu UU hand, and it is certain the
man at the bat never found out. Af
cr t'.iis display of scientific baseball
'.me had been made, Stange took the
middle of the diamond. Stange stung
the batter first thing. The ball ap
peared to approach the man with the
club in a very Inviting manner until
just when he was about to strike;
then the pesky thing cut a pigeon
wing so as to leave the ball In the
hands of Jay Van Buren, occasional
ly; but when Stange made the only
fine hit on the Millionaire side and
tried to make a home run he got bad
ly stung even though he could have
made "home" If he had "hit the dirt",
but It will be a matter of argument
for the succeeding generations wheth
er he did not willingly sacrifice that
sole possibility for a score Just to
save his clothes.
By the end of the fourth inning it
had become nearly so dark the crowds
began to start so as to be able to get
out of the gate before It got to late
to find the way home. The gate keep
er, Charley Harding, will open up a
special account In his bank today (if
he gets the gate receipts counted) the
Interest of which should be applied to
buying suits for the millionaires.
Among the many enthusiasts were
seen half a dozen ladles, J. H. Rudd.
the new Y. M. C. A. secretary, Hon. T.
H. Crawford, Clyde Scranton, Tom
Scroggin and "Toughy K'd."
