of work at the close of the inning, but
the sharp work Of the fielders was
enough to set it at naught-with the ex-

to be considered. With Clark and Tay

Nothing but grandstand amusement to
record for the sixth inning. Taylor, how
ever, should be given credit for n catch
made somewhere on the sloping banks
of the river. A failure to perform this
feat would have meant a score for Craw-
ford, who had reached second.
In the seventh, for Fairfield, there was
some exciting work. Bradley gave an
other try to Reeve which sent thrill of
admiration as far as it could be seen
with the naked eye. The ball was driven
to Conroy before the former had stopped
running, with remarkable speed and
accuracy. Barnstead and Jones both
singled but the critical and nervy work
of circuit, being himself responsible for
the double play. put the grounder of Ed
