 in the Box-Sommerss; Marvellous l Catch. ...fa-s .ss<.. < 2,
 The Syracuse team made its initial ap-s pearance on the home grounds yesterday and, though defeated, created most fa- vorable impression. Gilliland was the prime factor in winning the game for New Haven, his pitching being of very high order of ball twirling. When a man re- tires such heavy hitting team as tho Syracuse is universally acknowledged to be with but two hits to it's credit he is en- titled to be considered manipulator of the sphere of no mean order. "Gilps" work yesterday was as fine an exhibition in the box as any one need ever wish to see. Six men were struck out by his strategic pitching, only two men went to first on called balls, and but three men were sent to the initial bag by being hit with pitched balls.
 But it was not alone due to Gilliland that victory perched on the banners of the local team. Every man on the team played ball from start to finish, and phenomenal fielding at critical stages of the game contributed materially to the success of the home team. : .'
 sommer, Cudworths and Friel aistin- grishsd themselves by making long run ming catches of fly balls, and Farrar was aa quick and nimble at first base as any one coald desire. The Syracuse team also played goed ball, but owing to their ina bility to wield the stick with any effect, coupled with errors at critical stages, were
 left in the rear
 The game opened, at 4:O5 o'clock with New Haven at the bat. The men were re-
 tired in one, two, three order, Doyle, Far
 Tar and Pettee dying at first; Doyle being 6elded out, Miller to Faatz; Farrar went out, Coughlin" to Faatz, and Pettee and Faatz to Coughin. In the second inning, ! after two men were out, Cudworth reached | first on Coughlin's huff of his high fly. l Decker followed with nice two-bagger, | and both men scored on Sommer's timely | single, he himself being put out while try ing to take second on the throw in. Again 1 after two men were out in the third inning l Farrar made 8 single and was advanced to | second immediately after by corking single from Pettee's bat and scoring on Sales single over the second bag, Pettee
 being put out while attempting to reach | third on hit by a magnificent throw of 1 Vests to B. Doyle. In the fourth inning
 another run was added to the score by Cudworth on his own scratch hit, and singles by Decker and Sommer. No more
 runs were scored until the seventh inning, when, after two men were out, Gilliland
 cracked out 8 two-bagger to the extreme
 lett-center, went to 4thiEd on, Miller's error of c. Doyle's hit, and, scored On poor throw to the plate to head him of by Simon. l Syracuse scored their only run in the eighth inning on base on balls to Mo Laughlin, followed by Coughlin's single,
 an error by Sales consisting of a muffed
 thrown ball from Gilliland to catch Me
 Laughlin mapping off second and crossing
 the plate while Friel was being thrown
 out, Pettee to Farrar. The game in it's entirety was one of the prettiest exhibitions of ball playing ever
 seen on the local grounds, replete as it was
 with most excellent playing and full of in
 terest to the 1900 spectators present.
 The special feature of the game apart from
 Gilliland's s pitching were Cudworth's high
 class fielding, retiring one man on high fly after 2 long run, and in the sixth inning
 robbing Coughlin of base hit by his quick fielding and return of the ball to
 Farrar. Sommer's magnificent running
 catch of a long fly from Vests bat, which ! seemed good for home run, and Friefs
 long running catch of foul fly from Sales
 bat. :, s>>'7' s'er>' t.'''

 afternoon and an. equally good game may
