the victory for the visitors. The threat
enlng weather and wind kept most OF the
cranks within doors yesterday and there
was only a slim crowd to encourage the
players. but they were liberal with their APP
plause and were worked up to high pltch
of excitement by a succession OF gllt-edSe
plays in the fourth inning, which really
won and lost the day.

scored the second run-alI that were made IN

Harper's deliveries all over the field for a
