The Brunswick team defeated Jackson

Bolton street grounds in a closely played
and sharply contested game Of ball. The
game was played in one hour and forty
five minutes, and at the end of that time
the score stood Brunswick and Jackson
Vile l.
This game was the second of the series
to be played by these teams for a purse of
$1,000. and by winning it the management
of the Brunswick aggregation receives
the purse, as the series was the best two
out of three games.
However. this by no means ends the
series and the third game will be played
this afternoon as scheduled.
The Jacksonville team does not yet feel
that the Brunswick boys are their super
Tors at the national game and the jack
sonville managemt mt are evidently of the
same opinion Their players and, in
fact, are SO confident of lowering the col
crs of their rivals that they have made
side bet of $3.50 with the manager of the
Brunswick team on this afternoons game.
The game yesterday afternoon was as
pretty an exhibition of fast, clean base
ball as one would wish to see, and for six
innings both teams We're BANKED in one
two, three order
The seventh inning proved a lucky one
for Brunswick and five runs were credited
to them in their half Brunswick scored
again in the ninth and their run-getting
was ended. For eight innings the Jack
sonVille team scored goose-eggs and uD to
the ninth inning only two hits were made
off Wofe's delivery and only three men
reached first bag, and one of them got as
far as second; but Wolfe was pitching
second base game and there the Jackson
vile runner remained. In their half of
the ninth Jacksonville managed to get
man across the plate and saved them
selves from a whitewash.
Holland opened up for Brunswick in the
seventh with a clean single to left garden.
Garrett, who followed Holland, hunted to
third, but Linton. in his eagerness to make
a double play, threw wild TO second in his
effort to put out Holland, who came to
third on the error, Garrett stealing second
on the next pitched ball. With Holland
on third and Garrett on second and no
outs the Brunswick rooters were jubilant
Kaphan, the next batter flied out to left.
Philips, who came to the bat next, faced
ATeath 4, Il.
and very neatly placed a well-timed single
to center field, scoring Holland and Car
rett and virtually winning the game for
brunswick. Philips reached third on a
wild throw of Summers. Wolfe got his
base on balls. Hallowell fouled out TO
catcher.
With two men out, two on bases and
two runs already to Brunswicks credit in
this inning. Jim Ballantyne cracked out
corking two-bagger to right center,
scoring Phillips and Wolfe This dnAVe of
Ballantynes hit the center field fence.
Ballantyne scored on a bad throw of
catcher to third. This ended the scoring
for Brunswick in this inning.
Brunswick scored again in the ninth
on hit by Philips, a sacrifice by Wolfe
and wild throw of Middlebrook S, which
allowed Philips 90 score.
Jacksonville's only tally was made In
the NINTH Harrison, the first man I'D in
this inning, got his base on balls, was
advanced to second by Linton being hit
by pitched ball, which placed that play
er on first. Conroy singled, but Har-
rison in trying to make a tally for his
team was thrown out at the plate on this
hit. With Linton on second and Conroy
on first, O'Neill hit a line drive to right
center which was reached by Kaphan
after hard run, but the hit was hard
90 handle and was an excusable error
for Kaphan, which allowed Linton TO
make Jacksonvilles first and only tally
The next two batters went out in quick
order.
For six innings O'Neill was invineible,
but I'm the seventh he had a bad inning
which was not his fault, as chances had
been given to retire the side. The pitch
ing of O'Neil was of the gilt-edge order
and should have won any ordinary game;
but Denny Wolfe was a stumbling block
to Capt. O'Neilrs men and only three
scattering hits was all the damage the
Jacksonville boys could do TO his deliv-
cry.
Both pitchers did excellent work, with
Wolfe having the better of the argument,
and he was ably backed up by the sup
port his team gave him. O'Neill's sup
port was also good, with the exception of
the seventh and ninth innings. -
Villineau, Harper, Garrett and Ballan-
tyne put up an lnuelQ game thdt was
hard to beat, and maybe those boys didn't
cover their ground. Garrett is playing an
excellent game at third, and goes after
everything. Ballantyne put up a pretty
game at short, accepting seven chances.
Bub Harper made another of his famous
one-hand stops, and also nice catch of
q difficult fly ball. Villneau is a verita-
BILE stonewall on first base. Kaphan made
pretty catch in right garden.
y Toll fxT,n 1oA saN he hof
aud single. Holland. Philips and Conroy
also got two hits apiece. Tom Holland
is hitting them nice, and the pitchers
have 10 put them over for him. Philips
hit in good time. and his single played
an important factor in winning the game
Conroy got two of the three hits thai
his side made. O'Connor made a pretty
catch Of Kaphan's drive in the second
inning. Harrison plays a nice field, hits
nice, and is always in the game. Hutch
ins and Conroy played nice ball. "Buclx'
Hollowell caught nice game. BUCK
Is a good one in any position.
The following is the official score:
