THINGS DOING IN
 \ SPORTING CIRCLES

Stafford came back by scoring Miller and Stratton in the fourth and bringing Lines home in the fifth, but in their half of the fifth act, the local boys sent Komus and Graham around the circle, tying the score.
 In the seventh, Bigando and Bedford eircled and broke up the tie. The visi- tors were unable to score again and the final result stood to 3 with the Me. Clellan outfit on the long end.
 Bedford E timely hitting was respon. sible for three of the five runs The inability of the Saffordites to connect with the leather cost them the game.
 Allison pitched the first five innings for the Sox. He allowed but six hits, but they were punched and with lit- tie loose fielding let in the three runs scored by the Mormons. Collins, who succeeded him, gave away threo hits, all in one inning, but good fielding pre- vented any more tallies.
 The Sox grabbed ten bingles, eight of Gardner and two off Campbell. The loss of the game is accredited to the latter, as the score was tied when he went into the box.
 A good sized crowd witnessed the game and was apparently satisfied with the quahty of ball dished up. Quite a little money changed hands on the game, with Globe slight favorite in the betting.

to second, but finding that thes dis tance was hard to navigate, they quit after the first two innings.
 The game was rather loose all the way through with regard to fielding Several hits could have been turned into outs if the players on both sides had used their heads and a little more ginger.
 Mitt Sims was there with the advice all the time and Mcclellan retaliated by raising howl at stated intervals.
 A little more coaching would not have done either the visitors or the local boys any harm and might have dispensed with several bone head plays.
 And the breeze percolated through Mitt Sims whiskers all the afternoon.

 Graham rapped out double and n single out of three times at bat. Big ando made two good hits and popped up to the pitcher twice. Miles did well, but his two hits did not net any runs
 Things looked bad for the Sox in the seventh, when, with two down, Col hns allowed three near hits and filed the bases. Graham 's good work on frs; prevented the scoring of any runs.
