HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Yesterdays game was fruitless of re-
SUITS. though ten innings were played
in the attempt to decide it, 4 lead of
one run that the locals gained when
the game was more than half played
ana which they increased to three in
the eighth, gave the exhibition the APP
pearance of shut out. But an error
In the ninth and a suddenly acquired
ability TO gauge Newton's curves net
ted the visitors runs enough to tie the
score, which remained tied when the
game was called on account of dark
ness.
