AS soon az the game commenced ii
was evident that there was some fun
ahead by the clumsy actions of the
batters. Hart knocked a high fly
which Palmer Sperry caught on his
nose; it then turned a double hand
spring and socked Davy Smith in the
eye by this time Hart had made
his third base and also made hole in
his coat sleeve. Dando went to
the scratch and struck fowl out in
the right field. The owner of the
fowl raised a slight commotion about
his chicken but the boys settled the
affair by handing him eighteen cents,
four collar. buttons and a nail. By
this time things were getting interest
ing. Bowen, Price and Stevens were
put out in one, two, three order and
the field walked in to try the hickory
Hoskin struck out and came near
sending the umpire to the "happy
hunting grounds" with his bat.
Thomas Bath squared himself and
sent re1-hot liner which caught
Jimmy Wilson on the last button of
his vest knocking him out of time
and also dislocating his gang-plank
and safety valve. John Bath struck
a daisy-outter and in running to first
base fell down. A derrick had to be
used in hosting him to a horizontal
position when it was found that he
had received several injuries, viz :
the loss of three eyelashes and the
fracturing of his thorax. Gust here
our representative left the field for
the purpose Of telegraphing to Gum
borland for ambulances and hospital
accommodations.) The rest of the
game was played with something Of a
subdued spirit similar to that of
mules. At the close the game stood
% to 8 in favor of Logsdon's pets.
Richard Williams umpired the game.
