in the game of Base Ball last Wed.
nesday, met with q severe accident
He is captain of the STARS, and was
in his place as catcher, and doing
some very fine playing, when ball
struck him in the eye, rendering him
senseless for some little time. We
are glad to hear that his sight will
not be impaired. The loss of so good
a man soon told on the playing OIL
the STARS, which may pr obably ac'

retire, owing to catching ball on the
arm.
