The match game of base ball between
the "Our Boys" club of Columbia and
the Furnace Hill" nine of Middletown,
played yesterday afternoon in Mifhia's
1ield at Eighth and Locust, resulted in a
victory for the home team by the score of
Is to IA. Up to the third or fourth inning
the playing, and especially the fielding, of
both clubs was poor, but after that they
got down to their work and the portion of
the game following was decidedly inter:

their opponents and it was altogether
owing to their superior batting that the

team.
