The game at Front and Union streets
yesterday afternoon was a little Slow
owing TO the patched condition of the
Norristown team. Sweeney the regu-
lar catcher. was on first. and Walker,
who was a favorite in this city when
he played on the Wilmington team,
was on third for the visitors. The team
was in a bad condition. and at times
its playing was ragged. The men could
not make more than three hits. and
had il not been for errors, the visitors
would have been shut ont.
Until the eighth inning Wilmington
did not allow the Nomlstown men to
score In the fatal inning, however, a
ball was batted to Weigand, who
fumbled II, and then fell in reaching
for the ball, allowing two men to score.
The local team was In good shape, but
the visitors could not play fast enough
to make things interesting Livingston.

good work with the stick Boyle was
