"The most exciting ball game that was
ever played on any grounds was the verdict
of men who have folio wed baseball for years.
For four innings it was a pitchers battle
between Young and Mcmahon, both men

to work and the next five innings were re-
/ plcte with hard and scientific hitting and
! phenomenal fielding.
! McKean's work i'll the Second inning was
! simply marvellous and the crowd was abso-
lutely unable to appreciate il for several
| moments. He retired three met, and every
/ chance was a hard one, the last one seeming
! to be impossible.
| McKean's double in the third went nearly
| to right field fence. Kecler fielded II very
| fast and Mac. had TO stop at second base.

innings, each club getting two of them.
Each pitcher had given one base on balls.
