day Afternoon.

In a five-inning game Of the Pro-
ducers at Association park yester-
day afternoon the regular beat the
yannigans by the score of to 2.
There was a marked Improvement in
the players, their movements being
quicker and their plays more certain.
The pitchers are commencing to put
some real steam on the balls but the
batters found enough to make it in
teresting. The lineup follows not in
the batting order, however:
Regulars: Burke, catcher; Price,
first base; KeLney, second base; Gour-
ley, third base. Morris, shortstop;
Watson, left field; Franklin, center
