FINISHERS WON
Exciting Game of Ball Between the
 Rolling Mill Men AZ

The game of base ball between the fn- ishers and puddlers of the Birmingham Rolling Mill which took place this after noon at 4 o'clock, resulted in a defeat for the puddlers by score of to in seven innings.
 The feature of the game was the effective work of Anderson and Fox of the dnishers, Anderson having thirteen strike outs. sac- Gowan of the puddlers made one Cf ths most beautiful slides of the season, going down from second to third, which resulted: in his being very badly scratched up. Rob- ert Mullen, man of considerable age, was forced to take his place and did good stick work, having two three-base hits and three singles. Lee Powell first baseman of the finishers, did good work, having one home run and one single. The umpiring of Charles Goodley gave satisfaction to both clubs.
 The same teams will cross bats next Sat urday at their grounds for a purse of $50, and an exciting game is expected.
