terdsys baseball game at Union street

case. the game wss one OF the finest ex
hibltlons OF the sport ever seen any
where. That the local club won out was
only sn evidence that 1t played remsrkA

From the score Bowen apparently had
the best Of the argument In the pitching
department. AS matter of fact. Amole
pitched much the better game for while
but four hits were made of "Oy," he
gave seven bases on balls. Eight hits
were made Of Amole, but he gave only
one man a base.
