1.-THE poor display of judgment in the
ninth inning by which Cranston was

exciting game of ten innings to the
Orphans. After we had tied the score
in our half "Reddy" was obliged to take
Warrens place at third and three er-
rors made by him cost US the game

ing one up to the tenth inning, and
from the way our boys began to find
Voltz it looked like the contest would
result in a victory for US; but all hopes
of winning our half of the tenth were
knocked as high as the skies by the
miserable exhibition of Cranston. In

an infielder and therefore the fault lies
with Captain Stafford. in substituting
him fer Warren.

but was obliged to leave the game in
the ninth owing to an injury to his
right shoulder, which was caused by
being hit by a pitched ball. he man
