MARQUARD's GOOD WORK.
Marauard was in the box and that
Is enough said He was in great shape
aud as usual he had his opponents
guessing all the time. Three hits
were all that the visitors could gather
and two OF them should not have |
counted as such as they went through |
the short stop which was being cover |
cd by McGrew temporarily, and had
Lindsay been at his place they prob.
ably would have been outs. The first
time that Johnny came to bat was In
the third inning and when Umpire La.
than called him out on strikes he |
remarked 10 his "Umps" that he had |
eyes like a cat and could only see
In the night" Latham objected 20 the
remark and You're out OF the game.

rsngement worked pretty well but the
men can play better In their positions
Warner who offlciated for the visit
ora kept things we'll under hand until
the seventh and then they hit him
when and wherever they wanted. Five
hits and six runs were the result OF
the treatment handed 10 him in that
