A cOme.l, of errors was std-- ,.d at the ba'; park yesterday, hrt it wasn't the one written by Eil! shakespea.n Tom Shepard brought out his band of law breakers to get the best of the commercial wolves, but, as 1t turned out, this was the occa- sion where Big Business put 1t over the Law. It was joyful game withal and exceedingly mirthful. It started off in big league fashion, but ended some thing entirely different.
 The honorable commissioner started on the slab for the law
 Ners and Kelsey ,officiated for the tradesmen. In the second inning Bunnell went into the box and from then on until exhaust ed he represented the Blackston- ians. In the first inning Kelsey reached first on four bad balls and reached home somehow or other with the assistance Of his opponents. The next three bats men went out in rapid success sion. In this inning Bunnell dis tinguished himself by capturing hard foul just back of first base. In the second half of the first inning the lawyers went out one, two, three. In the first half of the second the men of con- merce did the same, while in their half three lawyers crossed the platter.
 This angered the wolves and they proceeded to eat their op- ponents up. They hit, slammed and .clouted the ball until Ritchie was ready to drop from fatigue and MossInan had covered three miles chasing flies. Shepard dropped several balls at first which should have been easy outs and all the runners ran without stopping. By this time the wolves considered they had done enough damage and cour- teously retired after putting l2 runs across. Everyone went to bat twice and was scared to death he would have to bat again. After that the busiI ess men SCOT ed two or three runs ill every inning except the eighth, when they retired from pure eXhaus- ton.
 The disciples of Blackstone never had a lOok-in after the 1hird inning, however, they SCOT ed one in the fourth and four runs each in the fifth and sixth. The game only went eight rounds, all hands, including the umpire, being willing to call it quits.
 There were any number of startling features in the game. Bunnell's catch back of first was loudly applauded, as was also Ganty's catch on third. A bril- liant piece of playing by the law yer clan was the running down of Wulff between second and third and SchultZ's catch and double play to Geraghty. On the commercial side the pitching of Kelsey, the heavy hitting of the entire team, and the fact they didl t make quite as many err TOTS as their opponents were the
 main features. Schultz is en- titled to the batting honors, as he correlled a three-bagger, two two-baggers and half dozen singles, batting one thousand. Everyone in the game made hits, and also errors, or mistakes. The lawyers usual habit of trying to stretch a point was evident by the way they tried repeatedly to stretch hits into two-baggers. Kelsey struck out -four men, Shepard two and ,Bunnell two. Score by innings.
