Even with the handicap, the Falls Villagers got two runs in the first inning and kept the score at 2 to nothing until the sixth in ming, and might have made it a final score of 3 to but for couple of errors and some raw decisions on the part of Umpire Flood, which made the final score to 2 against the local team. The Falls Village lineup was as follows i; Kelley, pitcher; Brinton, catcher; Tom Bartle, 1b. B. Heinz, 2db.; VanDyke, s. s. N. Rogers, Sd b. Ayerill Hubbell, l. f. John Bartle, c. f.
