inning game in the Bolton Street Park
Yesterday afternoon that was won by
Baltimore, IA to 1. 1t was foregone
conclusion. of course, that the locals
had a very poor chance, but their
friends hoped that they would make a
good showing.
They hadn't much of a chance,
though, for no matter where they
placed a ball an Oriole was there to
grab it and send it hurting to first,
where usually it landed before the run

ming of his troubles, for Robinson
threw to second as straight as die
and as quick as flash, and Williams
held everything that came his way.
The locals held themselves pretty
we'll together for the first two innings
and even if unable to score themselves,
kept their opponents from scoring as
we'll. Butler, the first man up for the
locals got to first, but was caught
trying to steal second; j. McIntire
struck out, and Virgins went out on a
fly to Setback. For the Orioles Sheck-
ard was out on fly to Virgins; Kelly
got to first on balls; Setback hit in the
in-field and Kelly was out at second,
and the side was retired by Williams,
who went out on a foul.
In the second inning the locals had
the best chance of the game to score
several runs: Bresnahan went to first
on balls, Hughes hunted safely, Bres-
nahan going to second; Schley went
to the bat and drove a ball down the
third base line which Kelley fielded to
first making a double play, Bresnahan

by F. McIntire striking out.
The professionals failed to score
again in the second inning, but in the
third they got their eye on the ball
and helped along by numerous errors
on the part of the local players, piled
up 3 runs before they got tired of
chasing around the bases. The process
sion was started by Robinson, who hit
safe between third and short; McGin-
nity put one in right field Robinson
wanted two bases and tried for them,
but was caught at third by a splendid
throw-in by w. Downey, McGinnity
was safe on second on a muffed ball

fly. to Schley, Kelley hit safe to left
and Setback safe to right, and McGin-
nifty and Kelley came home.
Then Williams hit to left, Mccain
went to first because hit by pitched
ball; Brodie hunted to third, and on a
past ball at first, Setback, Williams
and McGann scored. Downey let a
grounder of Dunn's get away from him
and Brodie scored; Robinson put a
safe hit to center field and Dunn
scored; McGinnity hit toward second
and was safe at first, he stole second

to second and throw to first which was
dropped by McIntire. The procession
ended when Kelly went out from sec
ond to first.
