A Good Game.
Taken as a whole, the game was
very good one. The first two innings
did NOT give much promise of a close
contest, the Y. NJ. c. a. having every
thing its own way. Bennett, Hughey
and Clemens ran up three successive
tallies at the very outset. Burns miss
ed. and Griggs and Campbell came IN
with two more. Miller took up the pat
for the Short Line and was put out on

a fly to center field, and Taylor Tanned
out, leaving the score to at the emu

Hoplzins went to bat for the y. NJ. {.

balls. He managed to get around, put
Bennett. Hughey and Clemens were put
out. Again the o. S. l.. did not score,

Things looked little blue for the ran
readers. They seemed TO be unable TO
get onto Bennett, who pitched a very
neat and strong game. But in the next
inning the prospect began to be a little
brighter when neither side scored.
Taylor gave Scare a base on balls at
the very beginning of the fourth, Hop

made single base hits and the bases
were full. Scare made his run, TINS

Clemens came to the bat and knocked
hot liner in the direction of third,
which many thought fair hit, but the
umpire thought differently and Glenn
ons resumed the bat, only to strike out
Burns took up the cudgel and hned the
sphere out to Miller, who sent 1t to flrst
so quick that the crowd hardly knew
what had happened. This put the side
out, and every base full, too.
Could Not Find Ball.
Again the Short Lines played to
vacant spot on the score-card. Barnes
could not hit Benefits curves, and the
hole is still in the bat. Taylor's fly to
Huehey was dead easy; Knickerbocker
was given base on balls, but had no
chance to get much farther, since NC

ball and it struck the home plate and
Mac was a very angry boy when
the umpire called him out.
Game Warmed Up.
In the fifth affairs began to warm up
a bit. Griggs touched off a small foul,
which Hopkins very cleverly captured,

crowd of spectators to do so. Camp
