home team gave a very poor fielding exhibition,
Wise being guilty of three costly wild throws
and Bufinton pitching wildly at first. The
latter however, had he been properly supported,

the side which were not accepted. After the
first inning but three hits were made off him.
The two runs made by the Bostons were due to
bad throw by Pfetfer Anson's head and
