Base Ball.
The Woodbury. Cuntry Club base ball
team played it's third and best game with
the West Philadelphia nine last Saturday.
Both teams went on the field expecting
to win but in this respect Woodbury. was
disappointed. The visiting team made four
runs the first inning and did not get another
until the closing Of, the eleventh. The score
was to until the eleventh in ming, when
the visitors made run, through an error
of our center fielder. Woodbury. had the
last bat and got two men on base, with
Pedrick at the bat, he hit it beautiful
crack, which put it in the hands of the CEN
ter fielder. Had it dropped between any of
the bases and the felders the score would
have been different.
Wells pitched fine game and Bachman
still holds his reputation of getting ''tips."
Sammy" although good catch is like
ly to be held up for trespassing.
Berry muffed a fine fly in left.
