 Considering the threatening aspect of the weather the crowd at the opening game of the local season yesterday was tremendous one. The fans were well repaid for their going out to the grounds for they saw a game of ball brilliant In many respects, sensational plays following each other in rapid succession. The final score should have been 1 to Q in favor of the inning resulting in one of the Nash vile runs getting in.
 The Pretzels played rings around the Fishermen, outhitting and outfielding tered so that the Pretzels were utterly unable to hit when it meant a run. Fast fielding of the locals on several occasions kept down the score and headed off runs. In the second inning with man on third and only one out 1t looked like sure run for Nashville when Molesworth made his sensational plate. Again in the fourth inning Nashville had man on second with only Sne out-there was a line hit to Brouthers who made another fast double play, retiring the side and cut ting off a seemingly sure run. The third double play came in the seventh when Nashville had a runner on second with only one out. Lynch making a double play from left field to first base though the ball was relayed.
 Now on the other hand there were several occasions when the Pretzels should have won, fast fielding by the Fishermen with Hermann's pitching knocking them out of runs. In the last of the second the Pretzels had a runner on second with two out and Millerick crashed out hit that looked a superb running catch got the ball almost off of the left field fence, saving one If not more runs.
 In the fourth with two out and the bases full a hit would have put a couple of Pretzels over the plate, but Herr mann saved the day for them by letting Gardner, usually a heavy hitter, down on an infield hit. In the last of the Pretzels out of run. with a runner on second and only one out Bruette held an infield hit too long and Brouthers was on first before the ball got to Elsey, the umpire called him out, how ever, and the next man was down on a fly to the outheld,
 With two out in the eighth and Pret- gel runners on first and second a hit would have meant one run at least, but Hermann again saved the day by strik- ing the last man out. While Hermann was in the main responsible for the Pretzels not scoring still if there had been more life on the coachers lines they might have won. OBrien sat on the bench during the entire game and never once raised his voice when Pret- gels runners were on base. Of course he could not get on the lines In his citizens clothes, but he should be com pelled to get into a uniform and do something towards helping his team win.
