Game, Too.

The Bluebirds played the Richmond
College Spiders yesterday, and piueHeo
all the feathers which the insects nave
been haunting in the face of all the col
lege teams IN this section Of the country
for the past two months.
The Spiders were ingloriously defeated,
nine large goose-eggs being registered
against them. The Biuebirds, however
played great ball. and batted Ellyson and
DcCamps, the College twirlers, all over
the field. Everybody soaked the sphere
and the College helders were kept almost
continually on the jump. In the very
first inning the Bindings landed on De-
Camps and batted the ball viciously. un-
I'll seven runners had been sent over the
rubber. This work they continued
throughout the game, and the Spiders
were unable to check them.
GILT-EDGE FIELDING.
The neldinS Of Jake and his pets was
good too. In fact their playing was OF
the gilt-edge kind. and the few crahks

Berte also played second in good form;
He covered a vast deal Of territory, ana
was continually on the lookout for WORK
coming his way. He hit the ball. TOO, ana
so did Kain. Barley distinguished nimsei
with a triple and a single, and MADE
two runs.
STIMMELL AND CHESBRO.
Wells tried Stimmell and Chesbro in
the box. and both appear TO be in eX-
cellent shape In the fun nine innings
only two hits were made off them, and
both OF these were singles, one being Sc
cured OFF Stimmell in the third inning,
and the other off Chesbro in the eighth.
The game was not at all exciting. the
disparity I'm the scores being too great
for that. but IL was exceedingly inter-
