did not put in an appearance, but Leonard,
of the Ariels, played the position as
strongly as any one could, and scored a
run. Fisher, an Eastern player, guarded
third base for them in a mastery manner,
and Daily, at first, was excellent.
The Atlas, as a whole, played as well,
if not better, than they had
ever done. Barry is steadily i'm
