agaras do not propose to enter the base ball arena
this year,

The game between the Shermans, or Utica ana the
Central City club, at Syracuse resulted IN tie game
The Central Citys, as is too frequently the case,
played just enough to keep the score OF the Sher-
mans ''wthn reach, and the result was ties at the
close OF the thrd fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
innings. At the close OF the ninth inning the Sher-
mans lel their opponents four runs. The Central
hlblted some OF their 0ld-time proficiency in ball
playing, and before the side was ''sent to grass"
succeeded in scoring four runs, thus making the
score tie at the close of the game. I'm

TO let Inc game go by Default rather than be beaten
by larger score.

more pride than they can In the present re-

met them in the same spirit. Both clubs played well

We presume no fault was found with this but the
reporter, who tells what the Central Citys might
have done had they been so inclined, will only make
himself the subject Of smile, without influencing
the opinion Of any one to the respective merits of
the two clubs.
