The game itself was not remarkable one, but
1t was as good contest as could be expected in

good, and he gave only two bases balls. he
managed TO pull through and win his first victory.
Farrels work was superb. while Burke, Tiernan
and Van Haltren aided materially in winning the
game The Baltimore players adopted rough tactics
two or three times, and they were roundly hissed.
