Standing Sfihc Clubs

The heart of the rooter could not de-
sire Il more interesting game of base
ball than was played on the local
grounds yesterday. The score was so
close at every stage of the game that
no one could have foretold what the re-
suit would be. Lancaster was first Ia
score, and after the locals had evened
up with them, the visitors went to the
front second time; but when the score
was tied again, they failed to get an
other lead. The score will show that
both teams had on their batting clothes,
but hits could not avail much against
such fielding as was displayed on both
sides. and besides. the hits were pretty
well scattered
King Kelly held down the first cushion
Tor the locals and made things interest
ing. He played his position WELL got his
share Of hits and opened up his fog
norm occasionally in way that pleased
the Dleacherites.
One Of the best plays OF the game was
smiths catch OF a fly under the can
Eass that no one expected him to cap
turc.

being sold in large numbers. The
