In perfect style. Altemus got 22 and also
played fine cricket. Mason was run out
a risk run for 18 and Adams made Is
with a couple Of chances.
McGiveren handled his men In the best
shape and changed his bowling well. The
fielding Of the Canadians, however, could
not be called first class. They went in
shortly after lunch and to the bowling OF
Lester and Clark wickets fell fast. Towns
borough played pretty cricket for Is runs.

Base ball Notes.

tomorrow.
Clarence Foster must have felt very good
after winning his first game for Chicago.
Manager Manning may run against the
weak-hearted Campbell today in Chester
and overcome his mOdesty. Campbell has
certainly played good ball this summer.
Which one of the Chicago outfelders will
now have to walk the plank? Hoy was out
yesterday, but the Dummy has been
making rings around Mcfarland both in
fielding and batting all season. Jones Is
fixture in right.
Boston's second game In Chicago yester-
day must have been OF the sort which drive
men to drink. Young Winters held the
White Sox down to four hits and Griffith
was hit safely eleven times, yet Boston Is
defeated. The errors of Parent and Ferris
must have been unusually costly.
"Ducky' Holmes took particular liking
to McGinnitys delivery yesterday, his four
singles being of the timely and run-getting
order.
It would be a glorious day Tor base ball
