imperial hymn, to be the most popular OF

Notwithstanding the recent heavy rains,
the grounds were in fairly good condi-

THE PITCHERS.
Leach and Flynn were the opposing
pitchers. and although the latter struck
out twice as many men, the former was
more effective-in fact pitched the better
game. Up to the sixth inning the score
stood TO !, when Portsmouth went In
and made four runs on two bases on
balls. two errors, and two hits. This
took almost all the ginger and snap out
Of the visitors, which they never re-
gained until the last inning. The score
was then to 1 against them. but II
appeared at one time as If they would
win only by a garrlsonIan finish. In
fact, their rally almost gave jolly John
Brady, who is a hard loser, a case Of
heart-disease. Leach had let down, and
two hits, a felder's choice, and Thurs
toms wild throw let in two runs. But
that was the best they could do, and this
did not win. The following is the score:
