Hopkins, the catcher for the Seafords. held
the two pitchers very well. McCaHsrty
held his pitcher better. Pennewill seemed
to control the ball better than Carr, and
Day seemed to do better than either.
The demoralized condition OF the Sea
fords Is shown by the number OF changes
made in the positions Of the players within
the game. The Americus kept their origi
nal positions from the start to the finish.
