mission was free.
The contest was between the Bee team
and picked nine, composed of men
from the NeaCS and RECoRD-UNIoN forces.
and was a continuation of the trouble
they commenced week ago yesterday.
The result this time was not quite as
unequally divided as it was before, but
most of what there was was in favor of
the picked nine.
AS before, great deal of the game was
played by the respective pitchers, and
much of it was lost by three or four am
bilious but tunpretending catchers. Some
times the men on the bases caught the ball
and put man out each time, and Fem
essay, who hung around first base for the
Bee nine, did notably well.
Both Preston and Boyne managed to
get under the ball a great many times
and catch it as it came down, doing good
work in the field.
The game became quite lively about the
fifth inning, and both sides warmed up
to the work in hand and demonstrated

then sneaked to the home-plate on a mutf
by the catcher. Alvord knocked the ball
to right field, but it got to first base ahead
of him. Waggoner struck at the ball
three times as hard as he could-never
touched it.
The seventh inning opened with Curtis
at the bat. and he bad several close calls,
tamales on the brain, for he struck sew
eral fouls, missed the ball three times,
and ran for first, hut didn't get there.
Brown, in the same inning, knocked a
big fly out to center, and made second,
where he was put out. Preston also sent
the ball to the outer limits and made sec

center field, and made home run which
would have decided the game, but in his
flight he failed to let his feet down at sec

getting around, the score at the close OF
the inning stood Is to Is, and tenth was
made necessary.

scored for the picked nine, while Brown
got in lonely run for the Bee team. the
