A FINE GAME SPOILED.-On Monday at
ternoon of this week the Union Bridge base
ball club met Waterloo at the hands of the
Mechanicstown boys. The first seven innings
constituted very pretty game, although
oncsided, yet not bad, after which however
the home nine went to work and run the
score up seventeen runs in two innings.
An error by our boys in the ninth inning
made when the visitors had two men out
gave them the only run they made. The
game was very pleasant one as there were
no discord or Jars" and the umpirc's dccis-
ions proved him both capable and impartial.
We append the score by innings.
