Stand;nu Of tho Clubs.

Tnexcusable errors weird and awful
fielding mistakes, ragged play by the
infield, and battery errors In which
Boone and the Grays both took hand.
made Of yesterdays game a base ball
farce, and burlesque. 1t was SO rot
ten" it was funny, and before 1t end
ed the couple sof hundred who were
on hand were all for Boone and were
roofing for the visitors. There was
MT much about the Grays' playing that
warranted yell, and they had to yell
for someone. II the playing was punk
the umpiring Of Tate was just as much
So His failure to watch play on the
bases cost the locals one run, but the
game had already beep handed to
Boone, so 1t made no difference in the
result.
Boone won to 3, which added Moth
ing to It's glory, and was merely an
incident of the senseless play, and not
a feature. II the local association
hadn't needed the money so badly,
admissions should have been refunded,
as even the ladies had just claim that
theirs had been taken from the under
false pretenses.
Both teams blew up, but the locals
explosion lasted the longer and was more
fruitful of the other sides tallies. OF
the total of eight runs made bys both
sides. not one was earned Warner
saws he hasn't got a team now, and
no one will disbelieve him who saw
Yesterdays farce. Hoy, dragged into
the infield to play short owing to Midi
dleton's illness, Kruger and Brugge-
man were the offending locals, and the
total of their errors furnished the OPEN
tnes by which the game was given
away. Greene pitched good enough
game to have won, after Boone blew
IN in the first and let in three tallies,
had his support helped him out. Even
tho Boone had not fallen down, as IT
did. the Grays could not have won, FOR
thew could neither hit Corns not Ben
nett the former of whom retired after
two innings, on account Of 1t being an
off day with him.
The locals gave sort OF one-act
comedy in the opening half inning,
which gave Boone the cue for their
performance little later. Bassy, nrst
up, hit double A passed ball put him
to third, and Bruggeman, In returning
the sphere to Greene, threw over MS
head. Bassy tearing for home. Hoy
threw to the plate, but the throw was a
hah dozen feet wide. Bassy was SAFE.
Tally one. Williams, first up for ths
locals, hit. HOY sacrificed. Brown
popped to Howard, who muffed, Will
lians advancing. Pennington fumbled
Kayler's grounder, Williams coming
home. Kruger walked. Bruggeman
hit a two-bagger, Brown and Kayler
crossing. Parkin and Wallace famed.
Three tallies. That ended 1t for the
locals, who had just one other good
chance to score In the third, but could
not.
with the game reasonably safe the
Grays kept the visitors from counting
again until the seventh. and the mis-
cues which queered Greene's game
broke out. Meek started the perfor-
nance with single. Howard hit
sharp grounder to Williams, and the
chance for double was there. Krueg-
er dropped Williams throw to second.
A passed ball advanced both. Lally
famed. Benson hit a grounder to
Kruger, who Knocked it down with one
hand. He motioned to throw to the
plate to nip Meek, and then whirled
to peg to third to catch Howard, but
ended by holding the ball, Meek hav-
ing come home. Pennington hunted to
Greene, dozen feet in front Of the
plate, while Howard burned the sand
for the plate. Bruggeman dropped the
toss from Greene, Howard being safe.
Bennett hit to Hoy, who fumbled, Ben
son tallying. Pennington was on third
and Bennett was on first. The latter
started to steal, Bruggeman throwing
to Kruger. at second. while Penning-
ton tore for home. Tate imagined the
play was to be at the plate, and while
Kruger nipped Bennett a half dozen
feet off the base, Pennington scored,
but Tate did not see the play at second
Bassy flew out to Hoy, and Fisher fam
ned, ending the fasco. Four tallies, a
total of fve.,. Neither side did anything
