HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Phenomenal fielding was the striking
feature of yesterdays two game The
work of the ou.ficld was so fine that It
was almost impossible TO get a ball on
the ground when once 1t was lifted into
the air Brilliant catches were made
by McFarlan. Leahy, Weddige. Hook
ana Grove. not to mention others who
distinguished themselves. There was
not an inning in the two games when
the game was not close enough 10 be
interesting. At times 1t was exciting.
Tho locals won the first game because
they go. more hits than the visitors
In the second game, Viau's delivery was
puzzle to the hard hitters. They made
very few hits off OF him, and those they
got they could not bunch. n-andt was
almost as hard to hit, but he had bases
on balls to burn and was quite liberal
with his favors.
