The evening times., 1896-06-25

The game yesterday afternoon at Arsenal
Park between the Mascots an the Eastern
Bads was one of the prettiest contests of
distance to see.
II Is not often that amateurs put up such
an exceptionally fine game, and shows
The Times Juvenile League are getting
down to steady work.
The Buds met their second defeat of the
week, but it was no discredit to lose such
a battle as WAS fought out yesterday.
Handlboe, who started in to pitch for the
Buds, was not very effective, and when
the smoke had cleared away four runs had
been Glalked up against them. Hughes
took Uandiboes place in the second inning
and finished out the game, bat the Eastern
boys could not overcome the handicap,
scoring only three runs. while the Mascots
succeeded in adding five more tallies to
their string, the final score standing 8
to 3.
The best work for the Mascots was done
by Helm, catcher. who caught very
steady game: Chapel, pitcher, who al
lowed the Buds but seven hits. and Sher
wood, third base, who accepted seven
chances outof eight. Forthe Buds, Hughes,
catcher and pitcher, and Busher. center
field, excelled, the former playing a fine
all-round game, while Costello at third
seemed TO have an off day, making three
errors.
BY losing yesterdays game the Buds
drop down to sixth place, while the Mas
cots, who have not been defeated vet .
are leading 10y narrow margin. Burke,
VINO umplred. gave entire satisfaction, his
decisions being fair and impartial.
