place, Dlnsmore was even wilder than
the wintry blast that swept the dust in
clouds across the diamond and froze the
marrow in the bones Of the spectators.

base, and six of the ten thus favored
got across the rubber. Then again the
locals took decided brace in their
hitting and smashed the sphere when
men were on the base lines. Another

Morgan knocked the ball over the left

Lloyd. The latter was in prime fettie,

innings, and half OF these were on the
