Up to the end of the fourth inning the game was particularly uninteresting. The players played in a listless manner, the game dragged, there was no coaching or arguments, and the game was as quiet and uninteresting as a camp meeting In the fifth inning, however, the ball opened and from that on there was plenty of ex-oitement.

Tracy, 8e-bonley and Burham formed the infield, and Dairym pie, F. Rsley and Homer graced the garden.The risitors wont first to bat and the locals started in playing their “usual game, and several errors allowed runners to score.
