meha baseball team Saturday after
noon when they bucked up against the
Custom House aggregation. The latter
started off with Coggeshall a new man,
in the box. He did very well for four
innings, keeping the Collegians down
to three runs. The Custom House team

and hundreds of hats went up into the

against the Honolulus a week previous.
was put in the box. From that time
to the end of the game, the Kams got
but one run. They simply could not

ing was excellent, the pitcher being
backed up in every instance.

four runs and then a fatal Fights
brought nine more. This settled the
business, neither team scoring in the
ninth.
The game was won by the Custom

had hitherto proved himself a perfect
tower of strength and who was a close

who seemed to be unable to hold q
ball even after he had got his fingers
on the sphere.
Bower In Center.
A feature of this first game was the
most excellent fielding by Bert Bower
of the Custom House team who had
