innings stood to 0. In the third G. c.

batters of c. G. found the ball and knocked
in four runs. Outside of this inning the
game was interesting and the playing
snappy, the visitors felders distinguishing
themselves by some difficult catches.
Good Will team for the third consecu-
tive game won by the score of Is to 1. The
only explanation for this singular fact is
that when the first warders get is runs
they consider it enough and stop scoring,
holding the visitors down to / run. Dey
pitched for four innings and grew disguised

apparently arbitrary rules lies the gen.
eral law that no one shall do anything

making are non-social acts; that is,
they ignore the claim of society that
