but enthusiastic, and were bipartisan In
their criticisms as we'll In their applause
BY 6 o'clock the bleacheries were undesi-
rable. the cold wind making matters
rather unpleasant. The afternoon was

a nice. even game, and got up good speed

in right field the day before graced the
box for tho Charlestons, and did good
work with his left-srm writings. He was
caught by Jones in first-class manner

day before, began the first in a very
promising manner, but failed TO get
around the bases, and when the Staun-
tons finally faced the pitcher they went
out in the one, two. three order. In the
second. however. they were more fortu-
nate, Calliflower sending a hit over Tru-
by's head. He advanced TO third on Hofr-
mans single TO right, and went lesurely
across the plate when Jones made a wild
throw TO second. attempting TO cut Of
Hoffman.

plate. Truby's single to left and a wild
throw by Callifower put him on second.
