backed uD in perfect shape. Every
member Of the Buff and Blue team
played fine ball., considering the fact
that they have not been able to prac-
tice at all during the last week. Only
two errors were made, one by Bielaski,
due TO the soft condition of the ground,
and another by Orison, who threw low
