GOOD GAME Toledo Shamrocks Lost to the Rosenthals The Score of Two and One Tells the Tale of a Good Ball Game. It was a beautiful contest yesterday at Steele's park, and those who attended were well repai 1 for the time they spent at the jxrk and were treated to a game that was spirited throughout and which abounded with many pretty play* Those who think that the Toledo Shamro-'ks are not a bunch of ball player* are badly mistaken and had they been at the game yesterlay would have changed their tune and would have been forced to admit that they had seen tbe prettiest game this season Tbe team is made up of tbe fastest semi profeesicosls in Toled ft sod this same team were tbe winners cf last year's city league pennant and are in a fairway to capture the bunting this season, being at present in first place Dcnovan. th“ir lefthanded pitcher, did slab duty and pitched a pretty game He was given gilt- edge support by his team mate* and it was only through the hardest kmu of ball playing that the locals defea”d them Toledo was sent to bat and the first man i was bit by a pitched ball, he wa« advanced to second on an infield bit. reached third on an error and ' scored on a passed ball. Railirg then settled down and for the remaining eight innings he merely toyed with the sluggers from To- ' t l~do. having them doing all manner of stunts in their endeavor to con nect with his funny shoot* and curves However, m tbe fifth in- 1 mng Toledo got a man on third base, the result of a two base hit which, by the wav. was the only hit -ccured off Railing s delivery, but this runner was forced to die the remaining batsmen failed to connect. It was at this stage of The game that the fans gave vent to their pent up enthusiasm and roundly applauded Railing for hiJ clever ww« Tns Roaentbal* I were reared iu th* first inning without a run. but in the second . Railing, the first man up, got a Jwq hit and was advanced ! ito third on Touhey's out. Pen ningtoh struck out but C ffee came along with a timely hit and scored Railing No more scoring Was done until tbe eighth when B France, the first man up, slimmed tbe first pitched ball to right cen | ter for two Daes*. Railing bunted I and whije they were retiring him tat first. France brought tbe win mng run across the plate by fast | ■ sprinting, much to th* pleasure cf' > tne large crowd present. The. Rosenthal* put np a fast game and backed Railing up in a sensational style aad clearly deserved the victory they won The first base playing al Touhey was a feature. and the catching of Pennington. who bravely stack to his post, although he had two badly bunged up finger* on his right band. If the local* continue the work of yesterday the remainder of the games this season will not be in doubt. a*d even Bluffton will bi*e the dust when the two teams meet in the near fu’e-e The score: 12345« 7 3 9 R H E Toledo 1000000001 1 2 Ru—n. 01000001x2 8 3 Ba- ’o .es.

Adaptability'* sails are set to catch lay wind that blows. To tbe man with adaptation an emer gi-m-y Is an opp irtunity. Adaptability is tbe ability to adapt ■ yo-ir*e]f quickly to unexpected condi Uoos. Tbe tiankrupt law is meant as an isyium for men wbo are without adaptability. Wien one plan fails tbe man with adaptation has forty-nine unfried others waiting. Adaptability is always ready, is never taken at a short, is tbe great light, niug change artist and often turns hopelessness into victory. A general in battle a statesman in office or a financier handling large enterprises without the ability to readily adapt himself to suddenly changed coo"•ions is a misfit.—From Out Per Cent I I I
