at several points was weak and the Wheel
club bumped Staffords delivery hard
getting - hits with a total of 26. Many
of the hits came after the side should

which a pitchers work can be judged is
earned runs. and the Wheel club earned
but four off Stafford. Only one run was
earned off Ellis, who struck out eight
men. The game lacked snap and bril-
liancy, but there were several good fea-
lures. B. Brooks gathered four nigh
flies two very difficult, in left garden,
