urday's affair with Ham
- mond had an auspicious
beginning and logged along for
seven frames, at the end of which
the score was a tie at five all. After
that both sides seemed generously
disposed and the game was handed
back and forth with the final result
much in doubt. A good crowd of

and, during the affray, essayed the
task of playing three different
positions. 1t is needless to add

artist he displayed a varied assort-

exchanged positions with the
catcher, and at the latter station

far famed Jimmy Archer crouch
in the amateur division. Frequent
changes of pitchers became neces-
sary on both sides and Wag was
doing heroic work on the slab
when the game ended. Heavy stick
work proved that the M. S. P.'s
had recovered their batting eye.
The visitors also evinced a liking
for the offerings of the M. S. T.
hurlers, but 'all's we'll that ends
