Rut IL must be borne in mind that The
Times team was something on the MT
themselves and every man got MT

Two-base hits were in abundance triples
were frequent. while singles were as COM
mon as veterans OF the cuban war. Dor
set and Wingneld carried of the batting
honors and as for errors nearly all hands
shared IN the making Of them.

The tenth inning opened with The
Times az the bat and 1--WE times did they
cross the rubber. The Dispatch men
could do nothing with John Bannon. who
IN the last two innings occupied the box
for The Times succeeding Herr Nolte.
Thus the game ended The Dispatch for
the second time experiencing bitter de-
feat.
Nolte and Bannon had six strike-outs
10 their credit, while Kimbrough had
seven.
Passed balls were three for Curtis and
four for HoRe and Schroeder
Managers Drinard. Neis and Wilson
looked after the interests OF The Times
team.
The Times was weak on the coaching
! lines-unexpectedly.
The sun interferred very materially

The errors of the Dispatch were very
costly.
And the crowd walked home-with few
exceptions.
