brunswick went down before Fernan-
dina again yesterday by score of 20
O Despite the whitewash, il was a game
oeH played and worth seeing. The fea-
lures were the fielding of Harper Bruins
~icks second baseman, whose work was
Ari-edge and the long three-base hit to
center field fence made by Byers. Fer
uandina's catcher in the eighth inning.
Wolfe, who pitched for Brunswick, nos
only pitched well. but fielded his position
splendidly, while Bankston put up the
SINE steady and clever work that won
for him the game of the day before.
Brunswick was again first al the bat and
Balantyne who heads the batting list
made his usual safe hit. but Wolfe, who
followed. went out at first, a performance
that was duplicated by Villineau, whiIe
Harper retired the side by a foul to the
catcher.
Fernandina started in to get runs at
once and managed 10 get two before be-
Ing retired. Butler hit safe to left, and
Brunson put one like it to center. Byers
went out on a bunt. Buisse was safe at
first Butler scored, Brunson was run
down between third and home, and
Buisse also scored on a bad throw home
by Garrett. Mosiey made a hit and CIR
cled the bases but was thrown out at
home.
Brunswick in the next inning Garrett
and Holland struck out, and Kaphan went
out on liner to Buisse. Fernandina had
a longer run for her money; Morgan
raped out bouuder that Harper
couldn't reach and made two bases on
it. but died there, being put out by Harp
er on very pretty play. McGiffin struck
out, and though Bankston got to fiji st On
balls he got no further, for the side was
retired by Butler with a pop fly to the
pitcher.
In the third inning only one Bruins
wi,H man, Phillips, reached first. For
Fernandina both Brunson and Byers were
put out at first the latter by a really
phenomenal left hand stop of a hot
grounder by Harper Buisse was safe at
first owing to bad throw of Ballan-
tyne's. With Mosley at the bat, the side
went out by Buisse's being caught out at
second.
In the fourth there was a pretty dou-
bic play. Villineau hit safe to right and
had just started for second when Harper,
in an attempt to bunt put the ball di-
rectly in the pitchers hands, who threw
Vlineau out at first. Garrett made the
third out. For Fernandina Virgins got
safe to first, Morgan went out on a long
fly to Holland, while McGiffin also got
to first. Virgins was thrown out at the
Mate and the inning ended when
Bankston was thrown out at first by Gar
rett, who made a fine running stop of a
hot grounder.
In the fifth again Brunswick went out
in one-two-three order, and the other
side also went out without accomplishing
anything in the run-getting line. In the
next inning Brunswick made her nearest
approach to scoring. Phillips hit to right
center and made two bases. Ballantyne
went out on a pop fly to first, while Wolfe
made first on an easy grounder to the
pitcher, on which Phillips was thrown
out at third. Villineau raped out a
safe one 10 right, and Harper followed
with a good one to center, on which he
made first, but on which Wolfe was
thrown out at the plate.
In the seventh inning there were only
three men up on each side. In this in
ming though, occurred the only kick that
married the otherwise pleasant game. 1t
came from Brunswick on a decision call
ing Garrett out at third The Specta-
tors thought that Brunswick had a kick
coming and sided with her
Again in the eighth Brunswick's three
men went out in short order; but for
Fernandina. Byers, the first man up, rap
ped the ball to the center field fence for
three bases, and romped home on the
throw in of Buisse's long fly out to CEN
ter. Mosiey put liner in Wolfe's hands
that was too hot to let go. and Virgins
went out on a grounder to short.
In the ninth, likewise, Brunswick's men
went out in one two, three order, and the
game went to their opponents without
the last half of the inning being played.
The game was well played and was
Witnessed by quite a large number of
spectators, though not as many as might
have been expected.
The lineup of the teams was the same
that of the day before, with the excep
ton of Phillips of the Brunswick team.
Hooks, who was to pitch for Fernandna,
was unable to do so on account of the
blow on the mouth that he received in
the first days practice.

Brunswick .........0 0 0 90
Fernandina ........2 o 0 0 0 Ks
Hendley and Ballantye will be Bruins
wick's battery to-day, while for Fernan-
dina Hooks, if we'll, will be in the box.
Byers will probably catch.
