 In a mad tumble of runs, hits, l errors, spectators, kids, alleged play CTS, Blackie Harrington and other i, things, a ball game took place yes terday, though no one who saw it could have sworn to it. It was ex-.I citing and laughable by turns, one moment tense with the prospect of a tied score and the next nothing but a ludicrous exhibition.
 The final score as announced was Printers 23, Business Office IS. But the scorekeeper could not be sure. He perched on a motorcycle and al- ternately fought the crowd and Wresteld with the hieroglyphics of his profession. He had a much hard CT time of it than the Ump, who was almost unnoticed among the gen. eral confusion
 Perhaps if the Business Office had made more runs and less errors and
 
 say about dozen of their runs, the score would have been different.
 A beautiful aggregation of bungles in on the Scoreboard. The half a dozen or more catchers on the Busi- ness Team were among them credited with a half dozen errors, each one representing a strike out that made first. The heaving was also feature. Cheney of the Printers began by walking Pierson the first batter up and in the hereafter walked four more. In the fifth he was dragged out and Tebben went in to save the game Score: Printers IS, Upstairs g. The old soup bone, which used | to deliver the goods in the Central | league was good as all outdoors for | a couple of frames, once getting two strike outs and allowing d short pop l that travelled to first ahead of the 1 pepper The Topsiders pitched Reeve throughout, and the down. stairs stickers landed on him for l total of ten hits and enough more errors to land thirtysiX men on first | base Of this number, skiddoo of | them went the round trip and scored. The Topsiders won thirteen hits from | Cheney and Tebben.
 1 The work of Third Baseman Pier son of the Office Team was fea- ture of the game. He batted seven 1 times. took four clean hits, scored I four times. and stole bases like a regular thief He gained ten ad- i vances on his speed. In fielding he was faster than anybody on either team He took two amazing chances on his meat side and got away with l it. He put out five men. one on a throw from Centerfielder Patterson deep PiersOn scored one assist | and one error.
 Ellis. the youthful short stop did some nice work that stood out from the dead flat of amateurishness. He whaled the pill for a brace of hits and scored twice. His best work was in the field. where he snapped up the grounders like a leaguer and whipped to first with accuracy and | speed
 The younger bloods on the Printers
 team made the best averages in the batters box. Spear got three hits and four runs. Ben Estes was best , at being hit by pitched ball. SCOT ing two runs on his starts in this way Cheney, the dethroned hurlel ambled to the pan in the first of tho last inning and placed the pill in th' ] tree tops. for the only homer of thu ] game Twice Tebben came to ba ] with the bases crowded. Like tn ] fans of Mudville. the printers begged him to clean up. The first trip h. lofted the ball straight into the air ant ! was out without a move on the par > | of the opposing team.
