NEITHER SIDE WINS.
THE FORGST-HlLL AND PETERSBURG
CLUBS PLAY A TIE GAME.
The Tree-state Boys Had 20 Catch Train.
So Could Not Walt TO win-Other
Manchester Items.

Manager Dan Mathews took his Forest
Hill Colts over to Petersburg yesterday
afternoon. and gave the ball-players OF the
Cockade City lively two-hours tussle.
They did not come back bearing the palms
Of victory. nor were their hearts cast down.
They did not win. nor we're they van
pushed. II was what is always far more
interesting than n decisive victorv--a con-
test close throughout, and resulting in a
tie.
The game was one of the most exciting
played in Petersburg this season, and both
clubs did some excellent work AT the
same time there was loose PLAYING for
while on both mines. Taken altogether.
the contest was quite animated, and the
crowd of some 400 "cranks" shared fully
in this spirit.
GOT STRAIGHT TO WORK.
The Forest-Hils went over on the fast
mail, accompanied. by q DISPATCH re-
porter and arrived at the park Just in
time to don their uniforms and begin
playing at 4:30 O'Clock. They had no time
at all for practice, which was especially
hard on Hattorf. The result was that he was
quite wild IN the first part of the contest
The visitors took the field, opening with
Hattorf in the box. Harvel was given his
base or balls and Reddy" Foster. OF the
Virginias, tapped the globe to third, but
IL was hurried down to second and ended
Harvell's career. Widgins punched out
and was followed by j Quarles, who
batted the sphere to Lipscomb on third
and the latter gave il refuge in the hands
of Tate.
Kahn and Hatton, OF the Forest Hills,
struck out. but Tate made q safe hit gain
ing his first Luck clutohed the ash and
kola IN ofr
inning in short order. Neither OF the
teams scored in the second inning, but IN
the third Harvell aud Foster made earned
runs. The Petersburg boys then became
ratified after going in the field, and piled
up errors. thus enabling the visiting club
20 gain three runs. In the fourth goose
eggs were the result. but O'Hara succeeded
IN scoring in the fifth. Neither of the
teams scored in the sixth, seventh, or
eighth.
THE LAST ROUND.
In the last inning. when the Manchester
club had the game in their hands, Bradley
muffed pretty fy in left field with two
men ont aud three on bases. allowing one
to come in. This left three still on bases,
and Limberger was struck by q pitched
ball, letting another in-tieing the
score. The "cranks" put forth a
mighty we'll for the home team.
The demonstration continued for some
seconds. The Manchesters held their own
and Harvell batted a fy which came in
contact with Jim Lipscomb's mitt, putting
the side out with three men on bases. The
Forest Hills did not make their first IN the
last inning and the tie would have been
PLAYED off but for the Manchesters having
10 catch the Z o'clock tram. In fact thew
had to hurry so that they could not do
themselves justice.
There we're some very pretty PLAYS made
and the crowd enioyed the exhibition inn
menselv. Quarles pitched in great shape.
striking out fourteen and making other
valuable PLAYS at opportune times. Hat,
tori was in fairly good form. but w,onld
have had many hits against him had not
the support in the field been so effective;
Kahn and Foster filed their positions well
and used the ash 10 advantage. The UNI
piring of Eanes fell tar short of giving
satisfaction. He is not we'll enough up on
the game TO fill this responsible position.
The Manchester boys returned on the
o'clock train.
