SPORT HILL.

The Alerts of Redding, reinforced by
three or four Yale students, met the
Dewdrops, July 4 and played the return
game of ball on the Dewdrops' grounds.
The champion club again did the Alerts
up in style that disheartened them, after
all their trouble in enlisting professional
players so that they might be sure of
winning the game. The characteristic
kicking of the Alerts made the latter
part of the game very disagreeable to the
spectators. The Dewdrops stole around
the bases in their usual clever manner
and batted Roberts's curves all over the
field. Roberts's pitching was wild. He
is at sea what to lay it to; could not find
that the ball was out of shape, or that
there were any stitches missing and the
price did not make the difference that
was expected. No wonder our Redding
friends feel blue; they are to be pitied.
We hope that they are now convinced
that the Dewdrops of Sport Hill can not
only report their games, but can play
them.
