while Neaglc aud Smith served for the WIS.,
itors. The two frst innings resulted IN
blanks for both sides, with no special fes-
turc. except a very pretty double play In

he took advantage OF and came home, fol-
lowed closely by Swariwood, who might
have hsen caught before crossing the plate
but for Hanna's lack OF iugdment IN
throwing the ball TO Powell TO stop Fats,
which be- failed TO do. Eden and Doyle
struck within the diamond successfully,

The sixth inning resulted in blanks for
both clubs, and just as the visitors went TO
the bat in the seventh the rain came on and
put an end 10 the game. The fielding OF
both clubs was good as far as it went. but
there was not much opportunity for a dis
play Of fine work. Five OF the six errors
Of the home team were scored against the
battery, and the only error Of the visitors
was given 10 Smith, the catcher, who
also had four passed balls.
