The medical students ball nine disputed
with the Rock Point Greeks, Al to Z, Satur-
day. Being the first mentionablc game OF
the season, the throwing and catching was
distinguished by wild grace rather than eilec-
tiveness, though individuals of both mines re-
called some of their last years skill at times.
Crosby's pitching proved very demo'allzlng

sional square hit WAS made. Both mines ac-
complishcd considerable go-as-you-ploase base
running. With a little more familiarity with
the ball, to be gained by few days more
practice, the club can evidently give the city
some well-fought and skilful games, as both
clubs have good batteries promisingly sup
ported.
