 Stafford's nine returned from Three Rivers last evening with a 5 to de- feat chalked up against them, but their spirits were not downcast. They had no reason to be for there was more of victory than defeat to the affair. They had out hit their oppo- nents and their pitcher retired the batsmen almost at will. Three Rivers made five errors; Stafford two. But Stafford's two were ever so costly; each one allowed two runs to come in. The umpire lacked the atility his pO- sition required. He hesitated over his decisions and as a rule, though he really tried to be fair, it seemed na- tural for him to favor Three Rivers. Stafford repeatedly hit the delivery of the opposing moundsman and often advanced men to second and third but a bad decision on strikes or on tases prevented scoring If the score of
 
 Stafford 2, Three Rivers 1. Score
