Brown Defeated Again.

The postponed Providence Brown game
was played on Lincoln Field yesterday
afternoon before about 1000 spectators.
SO far as the score was concerned, II
was a repetition OF last Saturdays game
at Adelaide Park resulting In q victory
for the Grays by the score OF seven runs
TO four.
The game was an interesting one from
start to finish, as at no time the profess
sionals had such a LEAD that they could
afford to relax their energies In the
slightest.
II was not until the second inning that
the Grays could succeed in sending man
across the plate. This was repeated In the
fourth and in the sixth Dunno, the Var
sily pitcher, was found for three runs.
The college supporters were gium and
quiet. Thus far the general aspect OF
things pointed to shut out for the Var
sity men, but In this, Browns lucky
seventh, two runs were scored and In the
next. Two more TO the professionally one.
Some hope was revived when Providence
scored a goose egg in the ninth but 1t
soon died away when Summersgill, who
was substituted for Dunno in the last in
ming struck out.
OF the team work Ii can be said that
both the professionals and Varsity men
played remarkably clean game, work
Ing steadily together with great effective
ness. Regarding team work, 1t Is one OF
the greatest factors of the game. 1t takes
days and days OF hard work to get team
working properly, and now that the
Brown men are showing such good form
In this respect, someone comes to the
basenall management with the news that
philapthropic but misguided being
wants 20 offer silver cup to the player
who shall make the best all around record
during the season.
Friel, the new Providence pitcher,
otficlated in the box and showed up in
good form, keeping the hits of the collie
gians down 10 a few scattered ones, and
striking out sedgewick three times, Rod
man, J. Dunno and Summcrgill. Robin
son was the only man who could effec-
lively find him, making two thin base
hits and three rafting singles out OF five
times at the bat. Speaking OF "Robbie,"
If he could only learn to run bases with
some showing of intellect he would be
one of the best men on the team, as his
stick work and fielding Is first class. But
as far as that goes, the collegians have
considerable to learn in base running,
which they will only be able to acquire
by hard practice and experience. In yes
terday's work the base running of the
professionals was quite feature of the
game, and attracted considerable atten-
tion.
Tommy Dunno, In his pitching for the
Brown team, proved fairly effective,
striking out Dixon twice and Drauby
once. There is one fault that Dunno has,
fault that Will prove quite handicap to
his playing IL be does not break himself
OF 1t, and that Is his tendency to play to
the grand stand. Yesterday he was
touched up quite roughly, while playing
to full house
In justice to "ReIiabIe', Dixon being
struck out twice ii is no more than right
TO say that Dixon's eye was as true as
ever and his hand just as steady, but tnat
Mr.. Coggins, the umpire, Is either
affected with defective eyesight or does
not fully understand the Importance of
his position. Still 1t would not do to
score Coggins too heavily, for he was
impartiality personified in the rendering
OF his good and poor decisions.
The summary:
