SEES BLOOMERS PLAYING BALLGRAND STAND AND BLEACHERS PACKED WITH DI8LOTA1* ROOTERS.UMPIRE FORD ESCAPES WITH LIFE. BUT IS BADLY PUNISHED.CM boa Wins, Crowds Laugh. Visitors Sell Pictures and Na Fault la Found With Game—Nothing Slid of ReturnEngagement With Boston Team.Easily chi* record crowd of tin* season wa* at the ball park voflerday to see the game between the Boston Bloomers and the* Globe team.11 must he admitted that, for once, tin fan* steeled their heart* against th«* prowe** of the local team and rooted Iik«* mad for th»- visitors, in spite of the fact that nearly every man in the grand stand was accompanied by bis wife, sister or sweetheart. Globe won, more or less gallantly, by a score of II to a, hut the Bloomers sought con solution by Helling a number of topographical inajrs of their phioe* to the easy ones of this bnliwirkIt was nn interesting game, all right, although the Eagles wen* quickly over the heart flutter given them in the first I inning, when the girls scored twice, .without even stopping to pat their bf*rk t hair to see if their e«|m were on 1 straight, and Denny Ford, the umpire, r began to open his eyes a bit. But that was all for the girls, and their male partners until the last inning, when the Birds experienced a softening of the heart or began to suffer from ten aion of the •• riibberatorv muscles, allowing the visitors to amble in three times more.Bureck, behind the bat, was a heroic example of devotion to duty, lie play ed ball for Globe all the way through, with the assistance of VVeisbeekef in the box, who kept hint too busy taking the pifl to fool away any time biting the batter’s ear. Still, it was noticed that Bureek had never played so clow* r to the plate.pi Ford was on* of the main features u of the game ug the finest center stop r that ever happened. He was hit with . 'the ball five times while making snre # I that the firstbaaewoman was holding jjthe bag. He had an exaggerated sense (of duty and insisted on calling the vis I) itors out from time to time, almost rous ing the spectators to mob him, but the punishment he got with the spare balls wag apparently considered atonement e enough.I Sallv Emmett, the pitcher for the r Bloomers, started out well. She has :» fairly good delivery—for a little while, but the locals soon got on to her curves and after the second inning she went I) out to hide in the far garden to the ,, left, where she found three four-leaf ir * clovers and mange*! to make connection a I with the ball often enough to be cred-k ited with several pu touts. That she can turn a trick in great style was shown In the lost inning, when she trotted home, where- Bureck wran waiting for her with open arms—and the ball in one of his fins, .lust as she e came withiu touching distance she look-, (cd up at him with a tantalising laugh. | dropped to a sliding position ami kicked •the piste from under his feet, scoring before he had lime to wiak back.fTho heroine of the outfit, however,was the little first ban woman. Her name is Nation, but she is not at all related to Carrie Nation. She played her position like a veteran, winning the admiration of the grand stand early in the game. The locals nil showed a disposition to hug first base and the chances are that there would have been all sorts of forcing out if Estelle Burns had not beckoned them on the second.There were ouly five women on the team for the Bloomers, but they played ball amply well enough to satisfy the spectators, whoso shouts of approval and repeated cheering of really clever plays were unmistakable tokens of gratification.Altogether, the Boston Bloomers, while not within a couple of country miles of the class of the Eagles, showed that they do play ywitne pretty tall ball (Continued on Page Four)
