The third and last ball game of the Sc
ries between Fernandina and Brunswick
was played at the Bolton street grounds
yesterday afternoon. The game was call
ed at the end of the eighth inning on ac-
count of darkness, with the score, 10 to
5 in Fernandinas favor. BY winning this
game the Fernandina boys made il three
straight from their Brunswick rivals.
The first two games of the series were
crack games, and the "fans" were out
for the final game in fun force, to see
what they thought would be a fine exhi-
bition, but in this they were disappointed,
as the so-called game that wound up the
series was decidedly off. To say that the
game was tinted with streaks of yellow
would be putting it mildly, and it would
be hard 20 say whether the few admirers
| of the sport who fingered to see the fin
ish, or the BAN players themselves, were
the most pleased when the game was
over. The outcome was never in doubt
after the Fernandina team piled up four
runs in its half of the first inning.
The game that Brunswick put up in the
hrst inning was bad enough; but its ex-
hiblton in the second was worse.
and it was thought that the
ala of the fire department would
be needed to put Fernandina out.
After these two innings the Brunswick
boys partly recovered and settled down to
business. The Fernandina men played to
win from the start and put up, IS usual.
