If Benners had been In his position IL
Is doubtful If the visitors would have

pitcher, but he is out of place at right

After this inning the home team play

giles, and double and four runs came
in. Ferguson and Morgan were the
visitors battery and they worked ad-
mirably. Ferguson pitches swift
curve ball and the Quickstep found him
difficult to hit, they having only seven

tors were credited with twelve with q
total Of sixteen.
The visitors made six errors and the

Yesterday, and received several stinging

made soon.
Where was Benners yesterday ? 1t is

and that fine was imposed. Ike, that
won't do.
W. S. Arnold, Of Albany, N. Y, of
fers $500 bonus and guarantee of solid
financial backingl for any Interstate
club to transfer itself to his city for the
remainder Of the season.
The female base ball teams played
another practice game at Oakdale Park
yesterday b3fore an audience of several
Dundred persons, not few of whom
were ladies. The play Of the girls has
somewhat, but even with a
diamond and soft ball their
exercise was as little genuine base ball
as would have been the sport of eigh-
zen Kittens With ball of yarn. 1t was
very funny though for time.
