In a drizzing rain, which made fast play

The Clothier-Ward match was exciting.
On general play throughout the match the

Columbia's Big Start Defeated the st.
Patricks.

Mud larks occupied the center of the stage
at the Coliseum grounds yesterday. This
ball field is in a great measure composed
of new ground, and the rains of Sunday
and Monday put it in a lovely condition
for ducks. Despite the handicaps encoun-
tered, however. crackerjack contest re-
suited The score. to 4, in favor of the
Columbia Athletic Club. was sufficiently
close to keep up the interest of the shiver-
ing spectators.
The Athletic Club sewed up the game in
the first inning. They were materially aided
by a youngster who tried to take care of
affairs around the third pillow for st. Pat
ricks. This youth had evidently forgotten
any skill he may once have possessed in
handling mud pies, for he so conducted him
self that three black marks had to be
chalked up against him, while the c. A c.
recorded enough of those little run things
to put them out of immediate danger.
After the first inning began a grand
change on both teams. The score sheets
resembled the records of a chess game.
Players We're switched from one position to
another in bewidering rapidity. In all the
instances, however, the wisdom of the man
ayers was soon evident. Anderson's change

he made pretty catch of high flyer and

had been stolen and the St. Patricks got
wise too late.

pounded the horse hide vicousy and only
very sharp fielding prevented the run totals
from assuming double figure proportions.
Stanley. who was on the firing line for the
Saints, eXtricated himself from several very
nasty situations by forcing the batters to
drive the ball high in the air. giving his CO.
workers opportunity to make good. In the
fifth inning, however, his supporters didn't

reached the limit of its momentum and had
gently and gracefully come to rest, while
the three did the comic supplement stunt.
Two runs resulted.
Riston encountered his little bunch of
trouble In the second round. Two men had
been sent to the stable when a base on
balls was followed by two-base swat by
Stanley, an error and two raps for one cush-
ion. Thus the st. Patricks allowed to
accumulate four large-sZed scores. They

perched on the three quarter station and an
error had permitted Day to reach first. OF
course, the proper thing for the latter to
do was to pilfer second, while bowling

thus ended their last chance to place them
selves upon an equal footing with their op
