The day was any thing but a good one for base ball, the dirt blew in clouds and at times it was necessary to suspend play until the dust stopped blow ing so the pitcher could see the plate. The game started at 3 o'clock, with Miller on the mound for the locals, and Kimblom leading olT for the visitors, he was safe at first by an error of the center fielder, who was playing too deep for the kind of a day and got just close enough to charge himself with an error.

R. Maxwell hit a high fly to the first base man, who handled it nicely. Harry O'Brien rolled one to Stoll and was out at first. J. Murphy, our ast year's star second baseman, who had been out of the game this season until now, and who is going to take care of the center garden the rest of the season, came up and hit a hot grounder to first, retiring the side..
