The game was featureless with the ex- ception of the fast playing of both teams. but was thoroughly enjoyed by the 500 lovers of the sport who were present. Although the Indians batted Wild Bill" Clark freely all over the lot, there was always some fielder close by to get the ball so that the batting did not prove very disastrous to the old leaguer who with few exceptions re- ceived gilt edge support from the club behind him. Drew for the Indians also pitched splendid game and had Stouch's bunch at his mercy and they never could score after the first inning. Selma made her first run in the first inning when after one out. Wright hit for two bases and scored on a hit by Ragsdale. In the third Sheffield got first on an error and went to second on an error by Harlow and scored later.
