to withstand the number OF runs that were
being piled up, and was relieved by Ihorne

runs shat were made during his stay IN the
box being scored by men who bad received
free passes to first. Owing to the recent
heavy rains the left field was covered with
water waist deep, SO sthat hit into that
lake was only good for one base. Camden
brought down number OF rooters, nut
