The game of ball last Saturday was
not as close as had been anticipated.
The Burlington team came here con-
fdent of winning with ease; and were
very much surprised at the game the
No Names put up. The home club
scored an earned run in the first in
ming, after two men were out, on a
three Dagger by Cheney and single by
johnson. The visiting team made
two runs in the same inning. In the
third inning the No Names secured
eleven runs, knocking Teachout out of
the box and taking things easy the
rest of the game. The visitors seemed
unable to field ground hits or to catch
fiy balls. The feature of the game
was the battery work of johnson and
St. Louis, difficult left-handed catch
of hot liner by Bushee, fine run
ming catch by Gains, the base running
of Glen Stone, the batting Of Foss,
and the catching of Lewie Johnson.

he taking everything that came in his
direction The return game will be
played in Burlington in the near
