a very interesting game of base ball
was played here Friday between the
Rochesters and the home team. The
latter won with ease. Butterfield did
phe 1omenal work in the box and was
well backed up by catcher Sulham yet
he was wild letting s men to base on
called ball. Not less, should the credit
of the game be given to Neibaum who
handled everything that came in his
way in the sharpest and quickest man
ner. The hometeam both out-fielded and
out-batted the visitors. ID. Grove made
fine catch of Tupper's terrific drive to
left field in I'd inning which was meant
for two base hit and two more runs.

cool at critical points. But few pitchers
can throw with both hands and the
Rochesters are fortunate indeed to pos
sess one. The score was 10 to s, But
terrified umpire.
