While there were errors, out of con
sideration for our neighbOrs over on
Eighteenth street we have consented
to suppress the figures. The base run
ming of the Argus players was feat
ure that amazed their opponents and
delighted the spectators. The aud
fence was not as large as it should
have been. The management of the
teams has made the discovery that

agreed that if an admission of at least
30 cents per head had been charged

in center, and all the other members
of the team was of the gilt-edge order.
Moffett had the Union boys bending in
all directions. They were able to get
their hits successfully in two innings
only. and then there were not enough
of them 20 cause any alarm on the
other side. Fact is. the Argus team
after obtaining a winning lead, took
compassion on Archer. whom they ex-
plOded at the outset. and refrained
from showing him up. Archer. it win
be remembered was an enigma TO the
Argus players in the first game that
he pitcher against them. He did not
have anything on him yesterday, but
il was given out after the game that
he was not in the best of form. having
got his pitching wing twisted while
operating the left-hand monkey wrench
in the Union composing room.
Broderick took 'em off the bat with
out a pad. and not one got through
him. Kendall played without an error
on first. making several sensational
stops. He got a hit every time he
came to bat. He received an offer from
