The fans didn't seem to feel very bad about the defeat-, for they rooted for tho girls instead, going back on the Home team entirely.Only when good plays on tho part of the homo team really called for ap-precation did the boys get any encouragement of any kind. An outsider would have thought that tho girls were Piqaa girls (luid they been better looking) and the boys of the team from away olf, from Troy tor instance.This sort of support of course was due1 valu^ to the fact that tho opposing team was * A t composed of girls, but- nevertheless' ti/.at-it isn’t-what bring* the team to its! will best to hear its own crowd rooting for1 Th the other team. Tho sympathy of the j tauqi spectators was entirely with the i in i Bloomers, and the boys worked over j time for all they got.'The game itself was such a ludicrous j 0p^ mi sup that-no one could exactly colli i{i. whether lie liked it or not, and j whether it was really a game at- all. - , There is no doubt about it that tl.ei^L^ girls put up a much better article of ball than any oue expected, and that1 there were more girls than any one looked for, ami the tea in was uudmibt-edy better than the one which played !
