Martin Smith, the 3rd baseman, is one
of the best amateur bail players in this
part OF the u. r., and every game he plays
has some new feature to teach the other
players and amuse or interest the patrons
of the game.
Fully nine-ten shs of the base bail pat

man over the plate after two men were
out, giving them the game by score of
Sto7.
