BALL CAME
 YESTERDAY

Yesterday afternoon at ? o'clock the Peterson came in with the base ball team from Ft. W. II. Seward and shortly after three o'clock the game between it and the W. P. Athletic club was called.
 Although the day was bad, strong south wind blowing, with oc- casioual spits of rain, both teams put up a fairly good game, the soldier boys winning by a score of 5 to 4.
 The line Up of the teams was as follows:
 Ft. W. Fl. Seward:
 Johnson, r. f.
 Franklin, c. f.
 Sheldon, 1st base.
 Duval, D.
 Corcorau, 3d base
 Mage, 2d base.
 Watt, c.
 Jones' s. s.
 Mudd, l. I.
 Substitute. Cain.
 W. p. Athletic Club:
 Crepeau, r, f.

 Blanchard, 1st base.
 Frost, p,
 Rapuzzi, Sd base.
 Mckenzie, 2d base.
 Richards, c.
 Stanley, 8. 8.
 Peterson, l. f.
 The ball grounds are not in very good shape, several of the fieIders, owing to it's roughness, stumbling and falling, and in consequence mis- sing what would ordinarily have heen sure outs. The sensational play of the day was made by Peter son, who fell while going after a high fly, but who refused to let go Of the ball, thus putting the batter out, although he was suffering from a badly sprained ankle which he had received earlier in the game.
