ArM GAME.
PsttinsilI's Corner and GARDENERS Score
Three Each in Mud and Rain.

The ball game. Saturday. at the Cor
ner grounds, resulted in tie score
Of = to. 3, and the reason that 1t was
not finished was on account OF a little
misunderstanding On the part Of some
Of the Gardiner players that happened
in the following way in the ninth IN
ming: Campagana opened the ninth,
and walked to first, Towle went out.
Nelson to Hall, and Campagana went
to second. Lewis got a single and stole
second and Campagana was caught
stealing third, Hall and Harvey. This
made two out Lewis stole third and
Beckwith got a single and stole sec
cnd.
Lewis scored. Hunt got single. fol-
lowed by H. Harrington, and Beckwith
/, went besne. sThis made the score and
3. With Two men out, Hunt on second
Z and Harrington on first. Scott made n
I hif 4oTleft, Ind Harrington, who was
on first when the hit was made, ran
: down to second and stopped, but see
ing Hunt digging for home. tried to
7 make third.
But the third baseman had the ball
before he (Harrington) was within 200
! feet of the base, and as Scott had kept
on running down to second. Harring-
! ton was out as soon as the ball landed
in the third baseman's hands Harring-
ton kept on running, and Harvey on
third, tagged him when he came with
In reach, and Hunt who had in the
meantime crossed the plate in time to
see the third baseman tag Harrington,
thought his run ought to count. If it
had been necessary for Harvey to
have tagged him. the score would have
counted all right. but as he was forced
off from second. the third baseman had
the ball before Hunt had crossed the
home plate.
Jack Mcdonald, the umpire, was
watching the runners as well as the
ball. and he called the man out as
soon rs the ball landed in Harvey's
hands. and that the run would not
count.
Some Of GARDENERS players thought
1t was allowed. and. as soon as the 9th
inning was over started for home be-
fore they could be Informed that the
score was tied. but as both teams was
wet through and covered with mud
they: were satisfied to let the score
stand until some future day. when per-
haps they would have dust banks in
stead of mud puddles on the diamond.
johnson was in the box for the Cor
ners, and pitched a fine game. Up to
the seventh inning only two men got
to second base. and only got one hit.
and up to the ninth inning only one
Of Qardiner's men got n chance to call
on Jackson at home plate. and that
was In the seventh and he was obliged
to do that without the usual formality
Of a strange caller. not even having
time to knock or wipe his feet. az the
ball was there almost as soon as he
was.
The Corners We're not the only ones
that played ball. az the GARDENERS were
all In the game from the start. Lewis
pitched a good game. and had good
support, holding the Corners down to
10 hits. which is the smallest number
yet OF any game on the home grounds
The noteworthy features of the game
were the sharp fielding of J. Harvey
in left field, and the running catches
made by Norcross in center field, with
one hand. Kempton made some of his
old time pickups. while Grier did his
part in getting two out of the three
scores made. Runs were made for the
Corners by Given and johnson, and
for GARDENERS by Turner. Lewis and
Beckwith. The summary:
