TUESDAY.
The game Tuesday was fully up to the
Mondays game, and surpassed it in field
ing. There were some beautiful catches
The game began to look gloomy for
Union, Notwithstanding her hard playing
she had string of goose eggs up to the
Sth inning, when Riley brought two men
in by good hit to right and stole 2nd
and third in the general excitement of
trying TO cut the two runners Off at the
, home plate. He let his desire to score
get the better of his Judgment when he
tried to slip in home when there were
two ont, and he had little chance of
making it. He made great effort,
however, and came dangerously ncar
, scoring.
The loss of the game is due principally
to Scip's twice fumbling the ball at 3rd
bIse. One of them should have been the
shortstop's ball. Riley won glory enough
for one game and made himself the favorite
OF the grand stand by one Of the pretticst
single-handed running catches that has
been seen on the diamond SO far. Hs
must have run sixty yards, and by a long
reach with one hand caught a very long
, fly to left and retired the side. This
, feat was greeted with storm OF applause
from tho crowd which he gracefully ac-
, knowledged by raising his cap as lie
. came in. Ana he was the favorIte from
, that tine Cn and he held up his reputa-
tion in an excellent manner. He after
: forwards took in another high fly and
, quickly passed it to End i'll time to make
: pretty double and retired the side. Oui
a short stop made couple of errors foi
which lie was sent to the field and
, another man put in his place.
Piedmont did all round good playing,
and made some good catches. They
