Star VS.. Union, Of LunsingburG.
The "Haymakers" played the third game OF their
present series yesterday at the Capoline grounds,
having for their opponents the young Stars of Brook
Ign. The game was by far the poorest of the three

deprived OF great deal Of its interest by the fact
that neither party represented in It's full strength
The Stars were minus the services OF Reeves and

the latter not being able to participate in the game
complete disarrangement OF the entire field. The
Stars were generally out OF position, Rogers splen
d Id Outnelder, holding second base while Gapin,
base player, was posted in the field. The game
opened In style which threatened to make
II decidedly One-sded and embarrassing contest,
"a the Unions scored no less than twelve runs in the
first innings, mainly by good batting, but assisted in
the second innings to the close, however. the Brook
Ign boys worked with q will so much so that during
the next eight innings the Unions scored but eleven
runs while they themselves succeeded in running up
thirteen. There was great deal OF mufing by
numbers OF the Union nine during the entire game
and but few brilliant plays were made. Rogers
made beautiful line catch from Enright's bat, and
Jewell succeeded in putting out S. KING at home
base after heavy hit to centre field on which King
was about making home run. The ball had been
promptly neded in and Jewell caught 1t handsomely
on the bound just Us King jumped for the plate and
against Jewells hands the instant he caught the
ball. Mr.. Wildey, President Of the Mutual Club
old time players he evnced familiarity with the
points OF the game and gave his decisions promptly
clearly and justly in all instances. The score OF the
