But oh! the game was 8 wearisome one;
so wearving was il that the good work of
the visitors was almost lost sight of. The
weather was wretched; only 1000 people
present, and the playing of the home fellows
WIS very discouraging, to say the least
OF it.
1t Was Very Muddy Going.
The grounds were very bad and an error
now and then was somewhat excusable. But
the visitors acted like thorough going mud
horses while the locals at times were fall
ing all over themselves. During a good

and time was called at one stage, but the

Left-Handed Puzzle.
I'D, very effectively. He is
l~t-hander and that lGaeans he" rcs a very
difficult riddle for our sluggers to solve.
The truth is he was too difficult. There
were times when the wet ball bothered him

the sphere the local men could do very little
with him. In the fourth inning he struck
three men out in succession and that
was quite good performance. He

The third inning was reached before the
run getting started and then the visitors
commenced it. Taylor started in the second
hall with base on balls and Weaver was
on! on fly to Kelly, a very good catch BY
the wav. Pfeffer knocked a grounder across
the diamond toward Bierbauer, who was
PLAYING near first base. Beckley ran for
the ball and Baldwin was late in starting to
cover first base. AS result Beckley threw
wild TO Baldwin and Taylor reached third
and P!etfer got to second. Bassett next
knocked an easy one to Shugart, who
managed to get hold of the ball and drop it
auain, Taylor scoring and Pfeffer reaching
third and Bassett first. Baldwin added to
the fun by making wild pitch and Pfeffer
scored. Jennings made a two bagger to
left and Bassett scored and then the rain
came down and time was called.
And the Fourth Inning Came Round.
When play was resumed the inning
was finished without any more runs being
made, but the fourth inning came and a
uuartette of tallies were counted. Tom
Brown started the fun this time He
knocked a grounder to Berbauer, who f1m-
bled the ball, and Thomas was safe. Tay-
lor's sacrifice sent Brown to second, and
then three singles in succession BY Weaver,
Pfeffer and Barrett scored Brown and
Weaver, and Prefer scored on Barrert's
steal of second. A wild pitch sent Barrett
TO third and he scored Whistler's single to
left
A change was now made, and Miller went
to right field, Donovan retiring; Terry took
Baldwin's place and Mack went behind the
bat. Clausen was the first man to face
Terry, and he made a single TO left. Brown
followed with another in the same direc-
ton and Taylor forced Clausen out at third.
Weaver knocked fly, which Miller caught,
and by good base running Brown scored on
Pfeffer's single to lett center. The Colonels
scored no more, but they had more than
enough.
The nome players made their first run in .
the fifth inning. Farrell started off with
single and Kelly and Mack each got base
on balls, filling the bases. Brown made a
brilliant catch of Milier's fly and Farrell
scored on Donovan's sacrifice. In the
eighth inning Bierbauer led off with
single, reached second on Shugart's sacri-
fee and scored on Beckley's two-bapper to
