The Line-Up for Today.

II was not a onesIded game by any means
ard the locals played good, snappy ball and
made favorable impression on the visitors
The visitors, of course, outclassed the local
team and the result was never in doubt
but the Americans played good hard ball
from start 10 finish, and the smalness of
the score Is because Bernhardt pitched
grand game and the Firemeu gave him
brilliant support. The final score was to
In favor OF the visitors and the fact that
that the locals were able to hold down the
mighty sluggers of American association
to the small total Of six runs is very
credtable performance and far better than
anybody expected they would do
Napoleon La Joie, the great batter was
the star attraction and everybody wanted
TO see him knock the ball over the center
field fence, but the best he could do was
three-bagger. There were many brilliant
plays during the game and there was not
dull moment in 1t. A line running catch
by Mcdonald In the eighth inning and his
quick and accurate throw to Marley, catch
ing Barrett at the plate, was especially
noteworthy. Ollre also did some fine field
