sas, and Beaver, came of last
Saturday, resulting rather disastrously
for the visitors. The inevitable
strong wind was blowing from the south,
| and was the cause of many errors, es-
pecially wild throws. Had the day been
less windy it would have been pretty
game. though the visitors were never in
it for second, their solitary run in tine
first inning being given to them by a
base on balls, a fumbled catch allowing
| the runner to steal second, and wild
throw to third. They made five tallies
in the fourth iAning on a succession of
errors. N. B. Peck started in to pitch
| for Meade and was effective for two in
nings, but the sand hill crowd soon
| gagged his speed, aad took comforts
able lead in the third by smashing the
ball for six runs. Then Osgeod re-
lieyed Peck, but the lads with sage brush
seed in their hair didn't appear to mind
the change very much, running in
thirteen tallies in the sixth for practice

at umpiring, but his work was satisfac,
tory, his decisions being always fair as
he saw the play.
A good crowd was in attendance,
Peck and Osgood both pitched good
ball, but the Beaver crowd is truly an
aggregation to break pitchers hearts.
Peck's base running was a feature, be.

this year and never saw a matched game

A better natured crowd OF players

Meade team is composed of gentlemen,
and even after the game was hopelessly
lost they kent their good humor, and
played plucky uphill game.
The Beaver girls deserve roast for
