game was clean throughout, and the
4 proverbial "rag chewing was not in
evidence at all. A fair sized crowd
witnessed the exhibition, and the day
was ideal, though trife warm. The
score, however, should have been 6 to
Is. In the sixth inning, G. Larkins
for the visitors hit long fly to deep
fright. Hayes missed the catch,
though touching the ball. The ball
bounded over the fence. Hayes went
after it. He got it back into the dia-
mond in time to catch Campbell at
the home plate. Campbell was de-
clared out, and G. Larkins, who had
gone to second, died on that base. As
Hayes had touched the ball, it was
deemed that the ball going over the
fence did not count as a home run,
but the rule book will not bear out
this construction. Had this counted
for home run, Hopewell would have
scored two more. runs. The visitors
were as good sportsmen as have ever
played on the home field, and their
Willingness to abide by all decisions
OF the umpire whether for or against
them, put them IN right with the
Dallas fans.
The regular Dallas lineup did not
play yesterday. Neither Fred Coop
er, Ned Shaw, or Glen Baker were
present. Fred Boydston played his
first game of the season as second,
and made a record for himself at
bat, getting three hits, one two
bagger, out of four times up. Rice
was brought in from right field, and
acquitted himself nobly on third base.
Jack Hayes held down right field,
and Preston, the High school star,
played in the left garden. The game
