Some Bright Features, but Game - .
Whole Was Poor One.

Brown crossed bats with Attleboro yes
tsrdsy and was beaten by the score of 10
to In poorly played game. which was.
however, not without. t.incident. There
were some very brilliant plays and many
very yellow ones Fultz made an aston
ishing ons-hnnded stop OF . grcund ball
right back of second, and with . light
ming recovery threw TO first In tine TO get
the man. Gammons made pretty run
ming catch OF q foul fly near the fence.
Lauder and Bacon sach made good stops.
AT the bat +. Croker and wsshburn were
the only men to make more than one hit.
Le Stage played nice steady game te-
hind the bat washhurn was hit rather
hard, but it was his first game and heavy
batters were up against him. his poor
throw to Lauder In the fifth practically
lost the game fer Brown, but IN the
ninth ne made a regular cannon ball
stop. For Attleboro, Scannell ana hou-
man led as the bat. the former cracking
out two doubles and then two singies
and the latter three nice singles. Philips
was not up to his usual form at short and
made some bad errors.
Attleboro started OF In the FIRST with
three runs on base on balls, three SIN
giles and an error Two hits and an error
in the fourth brought in one more. -Four
more were squeezed in In the fifth on TWO
hits and three errors. Three hits and two
errors In the ninth netted two runs Civ
ing them total Of ten.
Brown started the run getting on It's
side In the second, f. Croker scoring on
his two-bagger and Green's error Four
errors aud q couple Of stolen bases In the
third gave them two runs and tied the
scoro. Another run came in in the
foufth on two hits and an error. tying
the score again. In the fifth three bits
and an error brought In two runs In
the last four innings Brown was unable
to score.
IL seemed to be an OF day for the
Brown men; everything came wrong for
them. Some of the umpire's decisions
were poor and one or two absolutely
wrong. In ordinary times they might
not have cot much of q figure, but yes
terday they all seemed to come just In
time to cut of Browns chances for runs
The Brown men did not PLAY fast game
ON the bases. several men being thrown
out at the plate, and ttere were several
narrow escapes on tho bases tnat showed
that the men were not keyed mp TO the
right pitoh. The errors, ordinarily sim
pie, came Just SO as TO let in runs for At

slow and unsatisfactory. Fultz bnrt his
