Swarts won the game, and the score
was 10 to r.. This Is the result OF the
baseball at ADELAIDE Park yesterday after
noon between the mines from Canonicus
and Swarts lodges.
The game was called at 4 o'clock by
Charles Lovett, who had the courage to
be the umpire. Canonicus went TO the
bat first, but TN this inning there was
little ball playing, but carloads OF errors
and guying. This was because the Cano-
nicus nine had I'm their minds that they
had the game dead to rights before they
began to play. When the Canouicus nine
retired and the Swarts men went to the
bat, they found that Tanner was a
pitcher, and things looked little out OF
shape for the Canonicus fell ows. AT the
end OF the second innings, the score
The overflow OF runs made the Canonicus
nine up and play ball, and they
made an effort, but II was useless. In
the third inning, Tanner got a rap at
the ball, which went straight toward
Rocky Point, and as it whizZed through
the air Huling watched 1t. and 1t seemed
every now aud then sparks OF fire could
be seen by him as the ball went its
course. Ii did not stop until 1t went
over the fence. The noise of the "rooters"
could be heard by the workmen In
boiler shop at Fox Point. This was the
star hit OF the day, and made Tanner, the
new acquisition TO Swarts Lodge, lion.
OF course his pitching was good, and this
added to his popularity. Bennett played
well, and so did Parker; Grechian did
good work behind the bat and Huling
did what he could in the box and every
work in his corner by falling upon
everything that came his way. Delmage
made quite an impression by smoking
cigar at all stages OF the game. Battey
was the hero. He played because he had
to. He worked hard, but probably won't
move today, and perhaps not before Mon
day and then he may have his left arm
In a sling, as he was struck by ball.
He retired early in the game, to make
room for another victim. There were
many good plays made, and many that
were "nit.p
A word about the uniforms: That OF
johnson was the most conspicuous,
both In color and style; some had pink
sweaters, some blue, some white, and
some had none. CaDonicus lads, or at least
the most of them, could be distinguished
by their natty blue caps.
There were seven and half innings
before "that tired feeling" began TO
show itself
or the rooters, weekes of What Cheer
was the king. He squandered just a
dollar for horns-little tin oneg--and
they were for What Cheer and Swarts,
for he knows the What Cheer n.ne b,aj
the Swarts short time age, ana What
Cheer and Canonicus are TO have try
out soon.
The Canonicas nine say that What
Cheer won be "in it," for Shove viii
pitch and that will settle 1t. Shove was
onicus lays its defeat. But Swarts says
differept 1t was great game and the
% or 3omen who played ball know 1t
