Second regiment:

So you see that the first regiment once more
got away with the second. Col. Moore nay

is something like the last inuing in a good
game Of base bah. Skirmfsh is a decidedly
uncertain exercise, the possible results Of which
no man can fereeass. Team captains are busy

visitors knows, so any estimate or prophecy as

no vslHe.
THE LAST STAGE OF PRELINISARY PRACTICE.

So the preliminary practice puts the first
regiment team ahead to the time OF nftS-six
points- Whether the match itself. which opens
tomorrow will result similarly no one knows.
hut il seems to be evident that the second boys
will have to get very rapid move on them
selves if they want to stay With the procession.
What the three Jersey teams can do Is not vet
apparent. for they have kept their scores very
closely 70 themselves. They are first-elass men,
and OF courss are pOssessed of the advantage
