Fully 1000 base hall enthusiastics
left the South side park on Saturday
disappointed that the Wilmington
A. A. lost its first game. The same
people were elated at the game that
christened the new grounds. The
score was 2 to l in favor Of Harris
burg. Every one seemed to be pleased
with the grounds, the stands and the
players and their playing. II Mana.
ger Frysinger PERSISTS in giving WI
mlngton people such excellent games
then IL is safe to say the new park
will receive the patronage that it de-
serves.
The great feature Of the game was
the pitchiug of Wilson and Berry.
Both men were steady, there being
but one base on balls and that was
marked up toBsrry. The fielding OF
both teams was at times sensational.
Voight's catch OF a foul fly In the
fifth was Of the circus order VoIght
also made several good stops. O'Niel
at short played a good game as did
also Bruce at second, excepting his
one error. O'Niel made bad throw
over Deals head in the first inning,
but 1t was not costly. Deal as a hfst
baseman is the peer of any that come
to this city. He covers lots of ground
and has good head. Barton could be
overrated as a catcher and all around
heady player. Emerson who is one
Of the pitchers. played in the outtield
yesterday, but that position will be
occupied by Hoffman, who is well
known here next week. Purnell and
Griffith, the other two out tielders, put
up a good game.
The Harrisburg A. G. team is rated
one Of the best in Pennsylvania OUT
side of the big leagues.
Berry, who is but IS years Of age,
has made great reputation for. him
self. Last year he had l9 shutouts
to his credit.

That sports are growing in popu-
larity in this city among all classes
was evident Saturday afternoon by
the attendance at the opening base
ball game of the Wilmington A. A.
In the crowd were a large crowd
of clergymen, lawyers, prominent
business men and city officials. The
fair sex was also well represented.
Perfect order prevailed and there
was no nisbehavior what ever that
any one could take exception to.
Such good order will make any
sport popular and encourages per-
sons who attend once to go back.

there is much rivalry between the
two clubs. During the game young
Edgar Spruance, of Smyrna, was
accidently struck in the chest with
a flying bat and knocked out. He
was Immediately attended to by
Drs. Cobb and Harmonson and is
now all right again.
