One Of the prettiest games Of base
ball ever Witnessed in Southern Mary
land took place on the grounds at
Indian Head on Saturday Of last week
between the club Of that place and the
La Plata team, in which Indian Head
came out the winner. The score after
the nine innings stood 2 70 0, both runs
having been made on inaccurate
throws-the only errors made by la
Plata during the entire game. While
light shower made the grounds some
what disagreeable, the game was fast
the players Of both teams handling the
ball in a professional manner, and for
six innings no enc Tailed. in the
sixth, however, with two out and a
man on third, bad throw was made
from short TO first, which all owed the
batter his base and gave the home boys
their first score. The second ..un was
made in the eighth, when NJ. Bryant
made a hit to right field. The ball got
lost in the grass, and when found the
fielder attempted to cut the runner of
at third, but the throw was wild, and
Bryant Tailed for the second time on
what might be called home run.
The pitching Of F. Hamilton for La
Plata and B. Bryant for Indian Head
was of the finest order, hits on either
side being extremely scarce and we'll
scattered, and both kept the ball in the
infeld except on rare occasions.
1t is hard to say who did the best
work in the field for the visitors.
Each player took every chance thu
came his way il the best OF iashio
and but for the two bad thro
mentioned above would have played
errorless game. For Indian Head Il
batting OF NJ. Bryant, who seemed
be able to hit the ball when no OF
else could, and the fielding of Osterm,
at second, were features. Csterm,
captured eyeryih ng that came h

going at an angle with the ball on Il
