the Green Mountain boys are among the
spoils OF the Brown baseball team OF

and was good exhibition OF ball, al
though there were some simple errors
made.
The boys from Vermont showed in the
early part of the game that they had an
expectation OF winning, but their
ssspecs" fell into their eyes. They start
ed the game at an awful pace and the
Brown men had to plav as pretty ball as
has been seen this year in order TO keep
them from scoring in the first inning.
Dinsmore worked hard for the game. He
batted finely and fielded well. but his
support was erratic at critical times. The
Brown boys were on TO his curves as most
OF them have played against him befor q.
Whelan played fine game in centre field
and Johnson made some very long reaches
on first base which won the applause OF
the crowd.

share. At the bat Brown was strong and
numerically batted Dinsmore, who has
previously been puzzle. Rodman
cracked out five singles, Lauder made
three doubles aud q sacrifice hit. Robin
son made two singles and double, and
Phillips made three clean singles. Robin
sons double was one OF the longest hits
made on the field this year, going to the
further end OF Maxcy Hall. The ball
struck the fence and bounded back to
meet the fielder, else the batter would
have had home run.

out, the visitors made three successive
hits, passed ball followed, and the Ver-
mont runner started for home, Mellcr
ran to the plate and with assistance of
Dunno, caught the man.

beat out the ball TO first on an inheld hit,
and Robinson sent red-hot grounder to
the second baseman which was too much
for him. Lauder then sacrificed, Brady

tng Fultz. Robinson scored on passed
ball

pretty fielding in their half.

Rodman executed the prettiest and fast
est double play of the game. No scoring
was. done in the fourth and fifth.

hit clean, Fultz knocked a grounder TO
short, but the latter became anxious at
the sprinting OF the Brown captain and

lowed with hits and at tho end OF the
inning Brown had four runs more.

Meilor, the Freshman pitcher, was in
the box for Brown, and did fairly we'll

was twirling against. The Brown sup
porters, however, cut on many cracks
which would ordinarily have been hits
