die was put out by Robertsons aid
In the remainder of the innings neither
side scored. The Haverlys were able to bat
Barry, but not effcctually, and the fine
fielding done by the Atlas disposed of the
visitors rapidly. On the other side, Incell,
who had got down to effective work, de-
ceived many of the home nine astonish-
ingly, and the others were not fortunate in
their batting. Sweeney, the Haverlys' first
base, made two handsome one-handed
catches of balls thrown too high.
