he was no puzzle 10 the Jacksonville batters,
being touched up freely in the first, seventh
and eighth innings. The outneld was cN-
ceedingly rough aud a good many hits went
for extra bases on that account. The Brook
lyns had regular men In all the positions.

entire game,
The Brooklyns were blanked until tho
fifth inning. when hits by Hummell, Ritter
and Bell Melted a run. The HON team In
the meantime had gathered two runs in the
first inning on three hits and an inteld error
Free hitting In the seventh yielded two more
runs for the home team, Alpermdn's safe
hit and an inheld OFT accounted for Brook
