FIELD DAY AT MACALEsTER.
A Game of Ball Fit for the Gods
List of Winners.


The colors of the coIlege-green and
orange-were everywhere. The green
in the grass and trees. and other things
and the orange in the blazing sun
light that fried the solder out of the tin
roof in great scalding drops. 1t was
field day at Manchester yesterday. Early
in the morning one young man with a
glove fitting costume, sleeveless and
decollete, appeared on the campus. He
followed himself swiftly around the
baseball diamond for a while. BY and
by others came in sight, and by 10
O'Clock the students, the faculty, all of
Manchester and good part OF st. Paul
were on the college grounds. Pretty
girls in crisp muSlnS perched in the
windows, or occuied seats in the grand
stand which was anywhere they chose
to sit. Devoted youths in immaculate
spring suits held parasolS over them,
only to be snubbed severely whenever
a college athlete, with delightfully."-
near. 1t was the hottest day of
the season, but nobody minded that
the least bit in the world.
Everything came off as agreed upon,
and the programme was supplemented
by game of ball. The captains had
considerable trouble in pickingout their
mines, and still more trouble in finding
the diamond. There was very little
rigid cOnventionality about that game.
The Props played one side and the
Collegiates the other. The batteries
were Mcleod and Dysart for the Cole
giates and Vance and Sabin for the
Props. Langford, of st. Paul, umpired.
The CollegiateS' star was in the ascend
ant. Their pitcher struck out only one
man, but they scored seven ruus in FIVE
innings. The Props catcher had good
eye, and struck out four men; score, 2
Owing to the habit the bases had of get
ting off the base, so to speak, and owing
to the fact that all the men didn't know
the way round from base to base, there
was some difficulty i'll detecting errors,
though. some undoubtedly were made.
The tall waving grass in the out-feld
caused the ball to mySteriously disap-
pear occasionally, and the zeal of on
lockers blocked it frequently. The dia-
mOnd will be in better condition after
the hay crop is gathered. The game
was called in the middle of the fifth inn
ing on account of rain. The bottom
