d strictly amateur nine, went up TO
Greenvifle yesterday and defeated the
Ranney Refrigerator club easily. In
the second inning everybody in the
home team swiped the ball and run
around the bases until they were tired.
The features of the game were the
home run by Crosby in the seventh,
Dresses running catch of foul, and
the double play by Simons-Holmes-
Crosby. Simons pitched good game
and Jake Myers played short in fine
shape. George Stout umpired in fair
and impartial manner although he
gave Belding the worst of it when he
called Holmes out at first as he was
easily safe. The official score was as
follows:
