Mr.. Sr. MARY's COLLEGE, Feb. Is, rs.
MIR. EDITOR: On the afternoon OF
Thursday February 18th, the base bail
season was opened by a game between the
Kalakora B. b. G and nine consisting OF
nine of the old members Of the Mystic nine
who fought the Kalakoras so long and so
well for the championship last year, and the
best players Of the Seminary. Ellis the
famou, left hand catcher still preserved Il
tireless watch on first basc-th light, ac-
ton Doan was still lowering in the far
away right field and the loss of their pitch
er Mariirlter was mere than compensated
tor by the effective curvng Of Cha'lnl.-
The game fully satisfied the expectations
of the spectators among whom were many
well known residents OF Emmilsburg and
the surrounding country. The picked nine
won the toss and sent the kalakoras ~ The
bat. If we were to make II distinction be
tween the merits of the two mines we
should say that the kalakoras played gen
orally much better than the picked nine
Every man seemed peculiarly suited for the
position occupied. In particular plays
however The picked nine outshonc their
opponents Some Of these plays were al
most startling. For instance in the Sth in
ming daisy cutting" liner was caught on
the short bounu byKilpalrck. He flung the
| hall with the switlneSs of cannon ball to
Ellis. lfany one but ellis had been ON LIST
base there would have been no hope OF It's
being caught, rs ii WAS some distance over
his head, but Ellis elected thundcrOus APP
plausc at the apparent ease with which he
clught the ball with his left hand Ward
OF the Kalakolas made IL superb three base
hit that went soaring away far out OF the
reach of the centre fielder. Ward is dccid-
elly the best batter of the kalakoras an
"oIl pull back II tower of strength in the
face of the enemy" Everyone awaits his
appearance at the bat with the g. eatcst i'm
patience, and each fielder Involuntary
adds 10 or Is yards to his distance from
the home pate as Ward poiscs himself for
one Of his sky scrapcrs. Mr.. Lewis Kun
Grant notwithstanding IA violent attack OF
sickness, spring fever believe, did his part
nobly behind the bat. Malone The catcher
of the ka]akoras after playing with unusu-
al spirit, tainted on tho 9th inning. His
place WAS but very inditltrently supplied
by c. Boyle whose build was too light for
the heavy pitching of Barbour. Gcary the
lst substitute took Boyle's place on 3D.
base. He did not distinguish himself. A
Moore made some excellent plays u run
ming fly catch attracting particular notice.
Mr.. Hughes acted rs Umpire
The score is as follows:
