showed what they knew about the game.
and as a consequence Captain Nash,
try as he would could only send six
of his Trilby-1ooted sages across the
home plate.
BEAUTIFUL GAME
1t was a beautiful game from start
to finish. and Boston only won by her
superior stick work. Little Smiling Flynn

the heavy sluggers from the North could
only find his delivery for six hits dur
ing that time.
Dinsmore. who succeeded Flynn, only
allowed the visitors four hits in the two
innings that he pitched.
The score would probably have been
larger. but the fielding OF the Hustlers
was of that gilt-edged order that does
not admit OF men crossing the plate in
a promiscucus manner. With the excep-
ton OF one error by Berthe in the eighth
inning, the Hustlers put up a perfect
fielding game.
The ball In question was a slow bound
er just past the pitcher. Berthe went
for II, and just as he made grab for
the sphere, IL struck something and
bounded to one side, causing him TO FUN
