 Base ball is reviving here in vacation time. The Second Nine Nameless, as now or ganized, is an extremely strong club. On Wednesday of last week they played game with the Wolcottville Nationals, beating them 21 to g. The great strength of the Nameless was in their pitcher and catcher. Lynch pitches, or rather under-throws, a twisting ball that is very hard to hit, as the Wolcottville boys found to their sorrow. The fielding of the Nationals seemed to us at least as good as that of the Nanleless. Their left-felder took several flies very handsomely-one very beautiful running catch. Their first baseman did admirably, as we'll as very tall and rath- CT profane catcher who played at second base during the latter part of the game. The bat ting of the Nameless was heavy and lucky as the score indicates. Sedgwick, short stop caught hot liner very handsomely. Bishop in center field, caught one long fly and failet on'another. The batting and base running O Robert Mower was especially good.
 On Saturday the Second Nameless play ed the Meteors at Wolcottville, beating then 19 to .. Monday, the Second Nine Nameless played a picked nine composed in part of Firs1 Nine players, beating them Ito g.
