on Grand street near Pacific avenue to the

They were very stiff to all appearance and

weather. Mcdonald, who is counted the
Z best player in the nine, made two very bad
errors and afterwards squared himself by
catching a foul. Bradley stood in his posi-.
ton in field and turned and all sorts OF
somersaults, making some very fine catches
despite the fact that he stood in mud up to
his ankles. The playing of the other men
| was tolerably fair.
