THE GAME AT THE PARK.
Brilliant Playing by the Ann Arbor BOYS
A Bad Defeat.

Probably the most colossal case Of
razzle dazzle on record was witnessed
by the small audience who shivered
through the game at the ball park yes
terday. The Michigan University team
arrived early IN the afternoon and put
up ut the Morton. They were neatly
dressed and as rule slight looking
young gentlemen, and brought their
uniforms and bats III handsome russet
leather eases. They did not look able
to compete with the sturdy Owashta-
nongers in a game of baseball. Several
of the younger local sports made bets
on the success of the home team.
The Universities proved TO be
grand surprise, and SO ef
fectually wiped the earth with
their opponents that the latter Will
probably never be mentioned again in
connection with the national game.
The little battery tossed the ball back
and forth over the home plate while
the Owashtanongs chopped large irreg-
ular chunks out of the chilly atmos-
phore, accompanying each chop with
SonOrOus grunt.
The features of the game were the
terrific batting and reckless base run
ming of the visitors, and the muffng,
wild throwing, and still wilder staring
OF the home team as they watched the
long and numerous base hits of their
opponents.
The only run credited 10 the Owash
tanongs was an error on the part of the
umpire, rs Scharsh was not within two
feet of the home plate when Mclndol
,uched hIm with the ball.
iho plate was Obscured with
dustand Van Dom was not 10 blame.
Aldrich was Knocked out of the box IN
the first three innings, the visitors get
ting fourteen runs. Ii is hat fairto say
that Aidrlch had practically no support,
although several fine catches were
made in the field, but mufs, fumbles
and wild throws were the rule.
Knox then went into the box and he
too was somewhat punished, but AID
rich threw out men at second base
several times and kept the score down
somewhat IN this way. A bruised fin
ger sent him back into the box and he
finished the game in that position.
Phalen, of the state Leag9e team,
played IN Beecher's place, but he was
struck ont three times IN succession by
little COdd's curve.
