AN EXCITING CONTEST.

1
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
| -SS-ss--
Over 700 people assembled on the
West Front street grounds, on Satur'
day afternoon, to witness the match
game of base ball between Our Boys
and Auburns, champion amateur team
of Philadelphia. The game was close
ly contested throughout, but owing to
several bad errors made by Our Boys,
the game was lost in the ninth inning,
the visitors securing two runs. Surely
it was an off day for Our Boys and the
errors made by them were credited to
their best players. Why this was, no
one could tell. Clinoh, who previously
has played a faultless game made four
bad plays. Weller followed with three
errors. Tatnall, after catching three
long flies and making a three base hit,
surprised his many friends by dropping
two fly balls in one inning at a very
critical part of the game. Ocheltree
was less effective in his pitching, and
Stldham was not in q playing mood,
while Higgins, Bromley and Reed
we're fully up to their usual good stand
ard. AT the end of the seventh inning
the score stood TO and the excite
ment was intense but in the ninth In.
ming the visitors secured two runs on
errors and won the game. The playing
of the visitors was remarkably good
and they won many admirers in this
city. Harry Sherwin umpired the
game in . fair and impartial manner.
The score by innings is as follows:
Auburn 3 0 0 0 2 l 0 l 2-9
Our Boys 3 0 0 3 % 0 o.
