with hands down. Kirby held the
points for Memphis and Knowlton Tor
Charleston. Only seven hits were made
off Kirby, while Knowlton gave the
home team sixteen. Kirby also lead
in base hitting, he got four singles
lie was well supported by Davy Nc
Keough and all the other players. The
feature Of the game, however, was the
superb fielding Of McAleer in left field
lie has seven put outs TO his credit, and
he made one or two unusual catches. Carl
and Clcnn's fielding was also noteworthy
Nicholas had three unfortunate pass balls,
which proved very discouragng to Knowl-
