characterized their game during tho first six
weeks OF the season. They took the Troy
team-one that has recently bcen playing q
l very strong game-and defeated 1t TO tic tune
Of II to 0; all the work being dono In flrstclass
style, md but one error belng charged to tho
| home nine. This was hard hit Groundcr tn
right field In the first Inning, on which shaffcr
made M c1cusaole misplay. Especially WAS ah
improvement noted In the cascs Of Darvmplo
and Gore. The latter hud fire fys sent to ht4
lull, four Of them being difficult 10 handle, but
they rero all finely caughtA and tho ball
promptly returned to tue inacld. The soung
man also ran the bascs in hts old,ttme manner,
and 6atted with judgment md effect. Although
Dalrymple had nothing to do In tho way Of put
ting ont men, he handltu such balls as camc TO
him in a workmsnItko manner, and In running
| showed an increase of speed TINT was smpy
| wonderful. The work Of the men not MENTION
ed was simply perfect. and, although the gamo
/ Hasa une.stded affair, It was Interesting. The
| White Stockings batted Bradley heavily, as the
score shows, and bunchcd their hits 10 well as
n earn seven runs OF the eleven to their credit.
The pitching of Hankinson was remarkably Of
fcctiye, and when backed by frst-c1aas fielding
he will alwn5s bo found a difficult rnan to hit.
Capt. Anson lost the toss, but to htone for
this bad luck the boys proceeded to knock ont
three runs tu the frat inning, two Of which were
earned. DalrYtnplc 1ctl oil with corkcr for
