loosely played on the part of both clubs,

the ball in a lively manner and the fielders
were kept busy chasing the leather. The

which the home players cut down by con-
secutive hitting but could not quite over
come, being retired in the last half of the
ninth, after a good rally, by double
play with three men on bases. The
score:
North East IS 1o1 OH
Rising Sun I a 5 4-16
Hits-North East, II; Rising Sun, II;
Errors-North East, 6; Rising Sun, 10;
Batteries-Jenness and Willis; Riale and
Devon and Dare.
